In other words, it is a language designer's toolkit.

Ziggurat is based on macros. When building a language using Ziggurat, it is easy to make that language extensible by adding a macro system.

Ziggurat macros allow for incremental extension of the language by rewriting. What makes Ziggurat different from other macro systems is that Ziggurat allows the language extender to optionally...
