Summary
TXR is presented as a dual-language, open-source tool for text processing and data munging, combining a pattern language with TXR Lisp. The article covers TXR's lightweight footprint, lack of external dependencies, multiple distribution channels, and licensing, while highlighting community resources, documentation, and a warning about Homebrew packaging problems. It positions TXR as a mature, extensible system suitable for scripting, data extraction, and Rosetta Code-style solutions.
