I can't help thinking that 'pure-lang' would be a much better package
name rather than using such a common word that has multiple meanings.

Long description would appear to be missing.

The package name and the long description need to clearly explain what
the package can do and why anyone should want to install it. It should
also explain "term rewriting" which is not clear to me from what you
have provided so far.
