MPS 1.0 is now available

Jetbrains have just released MPS 1.0. You can get it from here, and there's also a lot of docs and videos available.

From my perspective, tools like Xtext, Intentional's Domain Workbench and - of course - MPS have the potential for a revolution in programming. Being able to define your own languages, including IDE support, or extending existing languages, also with IDE support, is really a powerful concept. If think about it, this really blurs the line between modeling and programming - very very nice.

Try out those tools! And even if you judge them as not ready for primetime yet, think ahead one or two more years, or even three, and imagine what they'll be able to do.

Congratulations Jetbrains!

And thanks for making it Open Source ;-)  permalink    0 comments
