News, guides, tutorials and the bigger picture of creating domain specific languages
There are different possible notations for languages: textual and graphical are the two larger families. We can define graphical notations for formal languages. For example we can define a graphical notation to define state machines. A Domain Specific Language for state machines can be defined using JetBrains MPS. However the user would have to edit […]
I am blessed (or cursed) with having many different interests in software development. However my deepest love is with language engineering. There are different tools and techniques but Jetbrains MPS is particularly fascinating. To help people getting started or just get the feeling of how it is to develop with Jetbrains MPS I recorded this short screencast. […]
In this post we are going to see how to develop a simple language. We will aim to get: a parser for the language an editor for IntelliJ. The editor should have syntax highlighting, validation and auto-completion We would also get for free an editor for Eclipse and web editor, but please contain your excitement, we […]
I just received the final version of DSLs in Action, a book I reviewed for Manning. The author included in this version an example regarding Xtext, probably I was not the only one to suggest it. Now I am writing a short review to post on Amazon. In my opinion the part on internal DSLs […]
We can design and implement languages tailored to support your processes. We build also all the necessary infrastructure: editors, code generators, compilers, simulators. Our goal is to deliver complete solutions.
We can use different technologies like Jetbrains MPS, Xtext, and ANTLR for custom solutions.
