Lesson plan
Tom (programming language)
Tom is a programming language particularly well-suited for programming various transformations on tree structures and XML-based documents. Tom is a language extension which adds new matching primitives to C and Java as well as support for rewrite rules systems. The rules can be controlled using a strategy language. Tom is good for: * programming by pattern matching * developing compilers and domain-specific languages (DSL) * transforming XML documents * implementing rule-based systems * describing algebraic transformations
