XTRAN

Program-Transformation.Org: The Program Transformation Wiki
Quoting from http://www.xtran-llc.com/xtran.html :

XTRAN is a proprietary expert system for symbolic manipulation of computer languages, including:

  • Assemblers
  • Third generation languages such as C and Pascal
  • Fourth generation languages
  • Markup languages such as HTML and XML
  • Database languages
  • Scripting languages
  • Special-purpose languages

Through manipulation of its internal representation of these languages, typically specified through its powerful rules language, XTRAN provides:

  • Analysis
  • Translation
  • Re-engineering
  • Standardization
  • Code generation

In addition, you can use XTRAN to perform powerful text processing. This is an example of how XTRAN's power can be applied to essentially any problem ___domain by adding a set of primitives for that ___domain to XTRAN's rules language.

XTRAN was invented, designed, implemented, and documented by our President and founder, Stephen Heffner.


The language/system is propietary, and it is not clear from the website what kind of technology is being used.
