### Bitloops Language (BL): Giving developers DDD/BDD superpowers

by Vasilis Danias (https://linkedin.com/in/danias)

The Bitloops Language (BL) is an open-source, high-productivity, fourth generation (4GL), DDD/BDD focused, programming language that transpiles into mainstream programming languages such as TypeScript and Java and helps developers build and maintain complex systems faster and better than ever before.

Domain Driven Design (DDD) and Behavior Driven Development (BDD) are proven ways to increase developer productivity and a sure way to improve the probability of a product or project succeeding. Nonetheless, DDD and BDD require significant experience and have a very steep learning curve. As a result, most organizations and individuals fail to make DDD and BDD part of their everyday routine and end up missing out on their significant advantages.

BL has been created to dramatically reduce the DDD/BDD learning curve for developers, allowing them to produce working DDD systems in no time.

During the talk we will see how we can quickly write a working system using Domain-Driven Design and deploy it as a TypeScript project while easily switching between a modular monolith and an Event-Driven distributed microservices architecture.
