    Alternatives

    by Tjerk Wolterink

    Just a note to the reader: An alternative is TCS, it allows Text2Model and Model2Text transormations and also generates an editor (complete with syntax highlighting and an outline).
    Link: wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/TCS

    Maybe TCS is a bit less mature but it works for me. I am using it for my Master Project @ University of Twente.
    I am creating a language wich can be used to specify the semantics of your language based on Structural Operational Semantics (SOS, by Plotkin), with this semantic-description you can simulate your language.

    Hi Kacem, can you manually forward the video to the 16 min mark? We have not had any other complaints and this issue does not appear to be reproducible on our side.

    Using Java tools and Java samples shouldn't this presentation be in the Java community also?

    Wladimir, the presentation was inadvertently marked for .NET instead Java. Fixed. Thanks for noticing.

    Since the video is mostly a talking head, are the View-graphs or slides available online?
    And he references his paper on the topic, available?
