Pliant is a pragmatic powerful language. It's in no way a functional language,
it looks much more like a modern C++.
It features:
- the compilation step is very incremental enabling powerful constructs (called
``meta''): rewriting rules, first-class types. Syntax is very flexible (you can
define things like ``for'')
- low-level capabilities (pointers...)
- it works: Hubert has written is hell lot of servers including
http/ftp/dns/mail servers which are fully configurable using a web browser (all
this is called fullpliant)
