NuGet support for C++ projects in Visual Studio has arrived in NuGet version 2.5! This has been an elusive feature for VC++ developers so we are thrilled it's here. It's been around for about a month now so we figured we'd go talk to one of the developers who helped make it happen, Microsoft's...

Code Digger is a lightweight version of Pex that allows you to explore public .NET methods in Portable Libraries directly from the Visual Studio 2012 code editor. It's a highly simplified and nifty way to leverage the power of Pex and Z3, one of the world's fastest constraint...

With the growing adoption of DSLs and DSL terminology into the mainstream has come a controversy over "external" (parser/AST/code-gen based) vs "internal" (hosted inside another programming language) DSLs. In this presentation, we take the approach that the complexity and power of...

Equity and Equity Options exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, CBOE, etc.) support a version of the FIX messaging standard for sending market quotes and orders. While the mechanics of creating, sending, and responding to FIX based requests and tracking their lifecycle are fairly straightforward, it tends to be fairly...

Roger Costillo will present one approach to Language Oriented Programming in F#, a technique in which software designers borrow techniques from language design to organize software architectures. In this approach, simple embedded DSLs called combinator libraries are explored. Roger will show two...

A deep dive into the "M" parser generator and may even have some new features to talk about as well.

As part of the Eclipse Modeling Project, a number of tools for defining DSLs and generating code have been developed over the last couple of years. In this talk, Markus will show a subset of these tools that have proven particularly useful. These include Xtext for definition of textual DSLs and editors,...

Intentional Software is pioneering a radical new software approach that separates business domain knowledge from software engineering knowledge.

Groovy's a JVM-based dynamic language, with a Java-like syntax that was made pretty flexible for DSLs.

Newspeak is a new programming language particularly suited to supporting DSLs, both internal and external. Newspeak's syntax is a natural fit for internal DSLs, which can leverage the language's powerful modularity and reflection. An important internal DSL is a BNF/PEG variant that is actually a powerful...
