What Is the State Gem Programming Language?

State Gem is an early-stage project aiming to create a modern, concise alternative to XSLT for XML transformation. Its design principles:

• Conciseness & readability: No verbosity.
• Ease of writing: No obscure syntax.
• Reliability & debuggability: Minimal undefined behavior, few special cases.

It is pre-1.0 and subject to significant change. Not to be confused with US state gemstones (e.g., California's benitoite).
