Knit is a language and toolsuite for doing component programming on

Knit is part of a continuing research and development effort.  We know
the current design and tools are not ideal, so they are going to evolve,
improve, and be augmented with new tools, as we discover what works and
what doesn't.  Feedback and external users are essential in that process.
We welcome collaborators and can offer help to some users.

Enjoy!
