  Pliant
Pliant is a computer language designed and created by Hubert Tonneau[?] over 15 years.
Pliant is a reflexive language[?] based on a dynamic compiler: it is possible for a Pliant program to modify the parser, the compiler, the code generator and the code optimizer.
Pliant's (default) syntax is almost trivial and based on indentation.

Pliant is a language that is expected to be usable as a scripting language (let's say Python), as a system language (let's say C) and as a logical programming language (I mean rewriting capabilities of let's say Lisp).
With a single language that can be resonably used in all areas, one can build a set of applications with unprecedented consitency and customizability (because the macro language is the core language itself), and it's now what's happening.

 The Pliant Research Group
Pliant Research is concerned with the mismatch between the rigidity of current computing technology and the richness of human lives and practices.
Our goal is to create pliant systems--flexible, resilient, and responsive--that everyone can use more effectively and comfortably, because they better fit our ways of dealing with our world.
In both the short and longer terms, pliant computation will entail significant changes in the way people (including organizations) develop and use computational systems.

 Pliant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pliant programming language is based on a dynamic compiler, which makes it act like it is interpreted.
It is reflective: Pliant programs can modify the parser, compiler, code generator, and code optimizer.
Pliant's core advantage is its ability to allow several levels of programming, from low-level instruction lists, to high-level expression manipulation, in one unified environment, and syntax as needed.

 zhar.net : What is Pliant
Pliant is a very small, highly modular, dynamically compiled language with a trivial syntax, where advanced features can be written in the language itself, as modules.
Due to the machine oriented structure of the Instruction level, Pliant programs are then theoretically as fast as ones written in C. In addition to meta-programming, Pliant includes many modern programming principles, such as static typing, objects, lazy evaluation, reflective compiling, reference counting garbage collection, built in debugger, and a clean syntax.
Any good description on Pliant language will focus on these two features since it's what's new in Pliant (also I understand that stating this is contradictory with my willing to have contributors step in and suggest new descriptions).

 Chicago Business News, Analysis, & Articles| Pliant reaches deal with creditors to stave off Ch. 11 | Crain's
Pliant Corp., a Schaumburg-based maker of consumer and industrial packaging products, reached a deal with a committee representing debt and equity holders to convert debt into stock in an effort to stave off a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filling.
Under the terms of the deal, the company would exchange $320 million of 13% senior subordinated notes and $278 million of mandatory redeemable preferred stock for a combination of Pliant common shares, newly issued Pliant preferred stock that wouldn’t be subject to mandatory redemption, and $20 million of new debt.
Pliant had warned investors in its third-quarter filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Nov. 21 that it would consider filing for Chapter 11 protection from creditors if it wasn’t able to come to terms with the ad hoc committee over the debt-for-equity conversion.
