(Modal)


is a flexible general purpose programming language based on the concept of rewriting. It was created in 2018 as a response to the rise in implementation complexity for high-level languages.

Modal programs manipulate a global "tree" structure, similar to ( term rewriting systems). There are multiple styles of writing Modal, as the language is flexible enough to express any and all abstractions the programmer may desire. The language was, originally, an exploration of functional programming/term rewriting on "bare metal", or without any surrounding dependencies such as an operating system.
