About Katahdin

Katahdin was created to explore the possibilities of language extensibility and flexibility. It allowed developers to define new syntax and semantics dynamically. The language aimed to provide a platform for experimenting with and extending programming languages at runtime, facilitating custom language creation.

Strengths of Katahdin included its ability to dynamically define and modify language syntax and semantics, offering high flexibility. Weaknesses involved potential performance issues and complexity in understanding and maintaining code. Competitors included other extensible languages like Lisp, Racket, and languages with strong metaprogramming capabilities such as Ruby and Python.
