I am a Language Engineer: I use several tools to define and process languages. Among other tools I use ANTLR: it is simple, it is flexible, I can build things around it. However I find myself rebuilding similar tools around ANTLR for different projects. I see two problems with that: ANTLR is a very good […]
Itemis did it again: they just released a new very cool plugin for Jetbrains MPS. This one permits to define new tree editors. They look like this: In this post we are going to see: how to use ANTLR parsers inside MPS how to represent the parsed AST using the tree notation In particular we are […]
As I wrote in my last post, I recently started working on a new programming language named Turin. A working compiler for an initial version of the languag is available on GitHub. I am currently improving the language and working on a Maven and an IntelliJ plugins. Here and in the next posts I will go over the […]
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 […]
