 This plugin is still very early in its development and aims to provide a basic interface between PennyLane and Snowflurry, which are both also under active development. As such, it is expected that there will be issues and limitations.
 
-It is necessary to use the `python-jl` command to execute files, as it essentially launches Python from within Julia. This is necessary for the use of Julia packages such as Snowflurry.
+### Future plans
 
-For the sake of simplicity, a workaround it being researched to allow the use of the plugin in a Jupyter notebook and to allow debugging in an IDE.
+- Add a test suite to ensure the plugin works as expected.
