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!

I was in the talk you mention and I wonder why you wonder that there were so many people.
I mean, Eclipse is not a religion, it's just another tool (ok, a technology stack...). You are the one coming from the modeling background, so you know that models among other things are there to become independent from a certain tool set.
You also mentioned the NUnit vs JUnit, Ant vs NAnt situation. What about having a NOpenArchitectureWare tool stack one day? Should be easy to generate out of your model ;-)
Again, thanks for the talk. Interesting to see the efforts to make DSLs IDE-sexy in the Eclipse world.

Als einer der "stehenden" Zuhörer kann ich nur sagen: Spitze war's.
Ein Aspekt der regen Teilnahme war sicherlich auch die schlechten Sessions der Paralleltracks.

How much interest would there be in NOpenArchitectureWare, oAW.net?
Someone, who would join such a project? Microsoft doesn't offer much for code generation - but they currently do a lot for parsing and models.
Also see my letter to Doug Purdy:
Oslo and Codegeneration
