'''Rascal''' is a [domain-specific language](/source/domain-specific_language) for [metaprogramming](/source/metaprogramming) and [language oriented programming](/source/language_oriented_programming), such as [static code analysis](/source/static_code_analysis), [program transformation](/source/program_transformation), [program generation](/source/code_generation_(compiler)) and implementation of domain-specific languages.<ref name=scam2009/> It is a general meta language in the sense that it does not have a bias for any particular [software language](/source/software_language). It includes primitives from [relational calculus](/source/relational_calculus) and [term rewriting](/source/term_rewriting). Its syntax and semantics are based on procedural (imperative) and functional programming. 

== Generating [Integrated development environment](/source/Integrated_development_environment)s ==

* Rascal derives [Eclipse](/source/Eclipse_(software)) plugins for any Rascal-implemented software language
* Rascal derives [VScode](/source/VScode) extensions based on the [Language Server Protocol](/source/Language_Server_Protocol) for any Rascal-implemented software language
