Language Workbench Competition: from scratch to implemented languages and generators

November 09, 2011 14:00:59 +0200 (EET)

For me the value of Language Workbench Competition is to see how different tools can implement domain-specific languages and code generators. I found particularly nice that the organizers want to make things concrete by asking participants to implement an assignment and then show how tools performed.

To my great surprise Steven Kelly was the only person - and MetaEdit+ the only tool - at LWC 2011 which actually implemented the domain-specific modeling languages, generators and model-to-model transformations expected by the assignment. I see it quite strong testimonial on the power of MetaEdit+.

You can follow the implementation of the assignment from the scratch by viewing the video.
