Pliant



         


Pliant is a programming language created by Hubert Tonneau. Pliant is a compiler, the code generator and the code optimizer.

The core advantage of the Pliant language is its ability to allow several levels of programming, from high-level expression manipulation to low-level instruction lists. Thatfor, it stresses the "compilation rules" definitions using "meta" functions (functions run at compile time to compile an expression) and "active types" (types having their own compilation scheme).

Pliant's (default) syntax is almost trivial and based on indentation.
