    The video pauses every two seconds, making it very hard watch. Is it possible to download it completely before playing?

  • Microsoft OSLO vs. Eclipse EMF

    Microsoft OSLO and Eclipse EMF are two promising and comparable technical spaces. Would be interesting to bridge them so than OSLO-models and EMF-models may be exchanged. A project to build such a bridge is mentioned in : bit.ly/DImMG

  • Myth of DSL

    by peter lin /

    Having worked on and built DSL, there's a unspoken myth that anyone can make a DSL. Honestly, my experience tells me language design/implementation is best left to people who understand the theory and practice. Oslo is an interesting concept, but there's a downside.

    To really design and implement a language, the developer needs to understand abstract syntax tree (AST) and how they work. I've met people that designed language using GUI tools and never make that leap. As a result, the language they created were full of flaws and horribly broken.

    my bias 2 bits.

    Hello Jules,

    I double checked the video in both Firefox and IE and it works fine. It might have been your internet connection...

    There have been a few people engaging with EMF +/vs. Oslo. For Microsoft it is interesting too, but still not interesting enough to invest in it.
