Asteroid is a multi-paradigm programming language heavily influenced by Python, Lua, ML, and Prolog currently under development at the University of Rhode Island. Asteroid implements a new programming paradigm called pattern-matching oriented programming. In this new programming paradigm patterns and pattern matching is supported by all major programming language constructs making programs succinct and robust. Furthermore, patterns themselves are first-class citizens and as such can be passed and returned from functions as well as manipulated computationally.
