What is JetBrains MPS?

javaBin Trondheim får besøk av Mikhail Barash fra universitetet i Turku/Åbo (Finland). Mikhail skal snakke om å lage egne DSL'er med JetBrains «Meta Programming System»
Etter presentasjonen tar vi noen øl/brus/kaffe og snakker om DSL'er, java 11 og andre spennende ting!
Som vanlig spanderer javaBin noe å spise.

Domain-specific language (DSL) is a programming language specifically designed to working within a particular area of interest.
DSLs have been a part of computing for ages, and in recent years they become more popular as a core part of model-driven software development. Using a DSL increases productivity for developers and improves their communication with business experts.
In this talk I will give an overview of JetBrains Meta Programming System MPS and explain how it can be used to create DSLs and IDEs for them. I will also talk about projectional (structured) editors, where source code can be represented not only as text, but also using tabular and graphical notations. The talk will have a short demo of creating a small language for defining UIs.

Bio: Mikhail Barash's interests include domain-specific languages, model-driven software development, compiler construction, parsing algorithms and metaprogramming. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from University of Turku/Åbo (Finland) focusing on studying new ways of defining syntax of programming languages. He is currently a lecturer at Åbo Akademi and teaches domain-specific languages with Eclipse Xtext and JetBrains MPS. You can reach him via Twitter at @mikhail_barash.
