'''Extensible programming''' is a term used in [[computer science]] to describe a style of computer programming that focuses on mechanisms to extend the [[programming language]](s), [[compiler]] and [[runtime]] environment. Extensible programming languages, supporting this style of programming, were an active area of work in the 1960s, but the movement was marginalized in the 1970s, when it was supercededsuperseded by work on [[Abstraction (computer science)|programming abstraction]]. Extensible programming has become a topic of renewed interest in the twenty-first century.
