The MPS Language Workbench

Mehr zum Buch

This black and white edition of the MPS Language Workbench combines Volumes I and II into a single book. The first volume serves as both an introduction and a complete reference manual for the JetBrains MPS language workbench. It explains the MPS programming paradigm and gradually introduces the platform's many features, making it an accessible way to explore MPS and its innovative approach to programming. The second volume focuses on customizing the JetBrains Meta-Programming System (MPS) platform to better suit your language needs. It builds on the first volume by discussing advanced features and includes a detailed example demonstrating the design and implementation of a custom web aspect. This example showcases how MPS's advanced capabilities allow for the creation of languages that can generate complete applications. MPS is a unique tool known as a language workbench, which simplifies and enhances the programming experience. Unlike traditional programming, where one language is typically used, MPS enables the combination of different languages to address problems. Users can create simple languages, such as Domain Specific Languages, or extend existing ones to meet evolving needs. The languages developed with MPS integrate seamlessly with those created by others. MPS is open-source and available at http://jetbrains.com/mps.
