Language-neutral metadata for your code entities

Rinci is a set of extensible, language-neutral metadata specifications for your code (functions/methods, variables, packages, classes, and so on). It allows various helper tools, from code generator to web middleware to documentation generator to other protocols, to act on your code, making your life easier as a programmer. Rinci also allows better interoperability between programming languages. It is geared towards dynamic scripting languages like Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, but is not limited to those languages.
