About Tom

Tom was created in the early 2000s to address the need for a language that could efficiently handle pattern matching and transformations in various domains. It was developed by researchers who aimed to facilitate the creation of domain-specific languages and automate complex data structure transformations, particularly for use in compiler construction and language processing tasks.

Tom's strengths included robust pattern matching, ease of defining transformation rules, and suitability for domain-specific language creation. Its weaknesses were a niche user base, limited adoption, and potentially steep learning curve for new users. Competitors included ANTLR, Rascal, and Stratego/XT, which also focused on language processing and transformation tasks.
