Language Generator

A JetBrains MPS DSL to generate a DSL.

How to use

In MPS, select the Console window and type the command

LanguageGenerator.createConcepts(#project.getRepository(), model-ptr/LanguageGenerator.sandbox/, module-reference/GeneratedLanguage/)

The first parameter

#project.getRepository()

is a reference to the global repository.

The second parameter

model-ptr/LanguageGenerator.inputModels/

points to the input models.

The third parameter

module-reference/GeneratedLanguage/

points to the module where the generated language will be created.

How to evolve LanguageGenerator itself

This is the workflow that I followed when I wanted to implement a new language feature in the LanguageGenerator application:

• Implement the feature using the MPS editor
• Run mpsmodelprinter and analyse the result
• Recreate the node structure of the language feature using BaseLanguage

Status

Inspired by the Cult of done Manifesto, I am publishing this project even though it is not yet complete.

There is a lot of code that should point you in the right direction when you would like to so do yourself.

You'll need a fair bit of experience of working with JetBrains MPS, though.
