Xtext - Language Development Framework With Xtext you can easily create your own programming languages and domain-specific languages (DSLs). The framework supports the development of language infrastructures including compilers and interpreters as well as full blown Eclipse-based IDE integration. While Xtext equips you with a set of sensible defaults, you can tweak every single aspect of your language with Xtext's powerful APIs. A comprehensive documentation as well as the vivid community will help you getting started in no time. And if that is not enough you can buy trainings, consulting or support contracts delivered directly by the committers.

" Xtext has been released as a part of the Eclipse Galileo release train on June 24th, 2009. Xtext is a framework for building DLSs (domain specific languages). In fact, it can be seen as a DSL for defining DSLs. In this article, we will develop a small DSL for defining entities."

"The Eclipse Modeling Project is one of the most active projects within the Eclipse community. Ed Merks will give a quick overview of the Modeling projects in Helios. Then Cedric Brun will demo Acceleo and Sebastian Zarnekow will show Xtext. This presentation was recorded as part of the Helios In Action virtual conference: eclipse.org/​helios/​heliosinaction.php. Presented by Ed Merks, Cedric Brun of Obeo and Sebastian Zarnekow of itemis "

"Cross platform mobile development toolkit consisting of a DSL for defining mobile apps and code generators for creating native apps for iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7 and Google App Engine. Based on Eclipse and Xtext."

"Let's imagine we want to create an application for orders. People can sign in to the system, place orders for various items, check out and have them sent to their address. Very simple, but we can show a lot of things here. As we expect to be writing more than one application of this type and as we also would like to be able to express the structure of the application on a business level (one of the major drivers for DSLs and MDSD for that matter), we come up with the idea of using a DSL to describe what the application does. Defining the DSL is what we did last week. This week, we need to map the concepts of the DSL to some code and some APIs we're going to program against. So, we're going to create a set of code templates for a code generator that can then read our DSL models and create persistence code for us."

"red-open is a sister project of redView. red-open is providing a Software Factory to transform models and generate code. red-open uses Eclipse Modeling (MWE, Xpand, Xtend to transform Domain Models (EMF, UML, XSD, Xtext) into other models like redView View Models. red-open also generates code and artifacts to generate RCP Prototyping apps, SWT Views, MockUp, Riena Navigation Assembly... "

"The Eclipse Modeling Project focuses on the evolution and promotion of model-based development technologies within the Eclipse community by providing a unified set of modeling frameworks, tooling, and standards implementations."

"Short screencasts that outlines features of applause, a domain-specific language (DSL) and code generator to produce native apps for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry. You can find this open-source project at code.google.com/​p/​applause"

"Clojure functional programming language for JVM has powerful mind-bending features. The feature that interests me the first time is its ability to "execute data as code". As demonstrated here, were I define a function process that basically executes the symbol processor with whatever params : => (defn process [& params] (eval (cons processor params))) #'user/process "
