Triquetrum Command Language

[rtotaro]

A command language to create model as described in the following document could be useful for making faster writing big models

Great suggestion.

Going for a command language i.o. a plain representation of a model hierarchy is an interesting approach that could map nicely to Ptolemy II's ChangeRequests and undo stacks etc.

I put some notes at https://wiki.eclipse.org/Triquetrum/Xtext and a link to this issue. Below are the notes:

Hallvard Traetteberg visited the Ptolemy group in 2012-2013 and did a first cut of creating Ptolemy II OSGi bundles. Hallvard also developed some Xtext work, see https://github.com/hallvard/ptolemy. Hallvard has not been using Ptolemy much recently, but his work is there.

Ptcl was a TCL-based language for Ptolemy Classic. The ptcl manual might be of use to help define some of the Xtext commands. For example, both will need to connect ports from an outer composite to an inner composite.
