Description:	TXL is a language for performing source to source transformations and is well suited for rapidly prototyping new languages and language processors. It has also been used to prototype specification languages, command languages, and more traditional program transformation tasks such as constant folding, type inference, source optimization and reverse engineering. TXL takes as input an arbitrary context-free grammar in extended BNF-like notation, and a set of show-by-example transformation rules to be applied to inputs parsed using the grammar. TXL is a functional/rule-based hybrid programming language, using the paradigm of structural transformation.
