## Introduction
`melon` is like a virtual 16bit CPU. When building a retro computing platform e.g. a gaming console or old computer architecture, `melon` takes care of handling basic parts like stack management, calls or exception handling. Its most common interface, the `System` trait makes it possible to not only implement the CPU into any platform but makes it also really easy to extend the functionality of `melon`.
