Steele and Gabriel's 50 in 50: Now available online

Maybe the best talk I've ever seen: Guy Steele and Dick Gabriel's 50 in 50, where they present 50 remarkable features in 50 programming languages.

And they present them in a very cool way: art, poems, songs, and Guy rapping :-)

You have to watch it!

Eclipse Modeling Symposium 2008

Over the last three days, I was participating in the Eclipse Summit Europe 2008, the Eclipse community's european meeting in Ludwigsburg. Specifically, on Tuesday I moderated the Modeling Symposium. I really liked it this year - the submitted papers were on really interesting topics (model migration, semantics, notation, for example) and not the "usual" trivial stuff. Because every presenter had only 15 minutes (and we really enforced it :-)), people had to get to the point quickly, so the presentation part
was really quite fast-paced.

In the afternoon we had Open Space discussions on some of the same topics, and we recorded a couple of video interviews (stay tuned :-)).

As usual, Ed Merks has created a great blog entry about this event, so I just refer to him for more detail :-)

EMF and OSLO?

Lars Corneliussen has written an open letter to Doug Purdy about interop between OSLO and EMF.

Doug has said that he'd be interested in having the two worlds interoperate ("We want to engage, particularly with the Open Source Community, in order to make sure that we can invent the future together."). Personally, I also think that would be very useful.

So please let us know what you think and help spread the word. True interop between Microsoft's OSLO and Eclipse's EMF would be very benefitial for both communities.

Eclipse at .NET conference

Today I was speaking at the prio.conference 2008, a conference on .NET technologies. I gave three talks: my Architecture as Language stuff, my talk on Architecture Documentation and - surprise! - on how to build textual DSLs with Eclipse.

Now, I did expect a number of people to show up in the two conceptual talks, but I didn't expect many people to come to the Xtext talk - after all, it is a Microsoft technologies conference. I was wrong! The room was full, some people were standing. I wasn't able to find out whether so many people came because the talk was on Eclipse technologies, or in spite of that :-).

Nonetheless, I was very pleased to see so much interest in Eclipse, Xtext and MDSD in the .NET world

Thanks to Ralf Westphal for inviting me to the conference!
