Mainstream model transformation tools operate on graph structured models which are described by class-based meta-models. In the traditional grammarware space, transformation tools consume and produce tree structured terms, which are described by some kind of algebraic datatype or grammar. In this paper we explore a functional style of model transformation using Rascal, a meta-programming langua...
