'''XL''' stands for eXtensible Language. It is a [[computer programming|computer]] [[programming language]] designed to support [[concept programming]].

XL features programmer-reconfigurable syntax and semantics. Compiler ''plug-ins'' can be used to add new features to the language. A base set of plug-ins offerimplements a relatively standard [[imperative programming|imperative language]].
