Code generation for DSLs on Node.js

Christian Schneider (TypeFox GmbH)

Writing code that writes code has proven to be valuable for keeping software scalable and maintainable. Moreover, code generation techniques significantly increase the profitability of software in many areas. Template engines have been available for decades for classical programming languages as well as web-based environments. DSL development tools like Eclipse Xtext do a great job on assisting us in developing solutions on the Java platform, for example.

Modern language engineering with Langium

Irina Artemeva (TypeFox GmbH)

Developing languages is a lengthy process, requiring creativity, technical affinity and much time. The process can be easier and faster if you use a language engineering framework, which comes at the cost of restricting your technology stack. Eclipse Xtext is a well-known and established framework that is still valuable today, twelve years after its 1.0 release. But its tight coupling to the Java platform and the Eclipse Modeling Framework can be a burden when your goal is to use it in a web context.

Textual and Graphical Languages for the Cloud Era

Miro Spönemann (TypeFox GmbH)

You can build a cloud IDE with domain-specific textual and graphical languages – all with Eclipse technologies. Theia provides the IDE framework with text editor, Xtext and LSP4J form the language server, and Sprotty renders beautiful modern diagrams. This technology stack works well, but it also imposes a high maintenance effort because the two involved programming platforms, TypeScript and Java, are not directly compatible and depend on separate ecosystems for building and distributing modules.
