Shape Your Own Programming Language

"Often the development of ad hoc programming languages that integrate features from various languages and paradigms represents the best choice to express a concise and elegant solution to complex problems.
However, the task of creating a programming language can be daunting, discouraging the development of domain-specific or problem-oriented languages. To address this challenge and promote the development of clean and concise solutions, we created Neverlang. This language workbench offers a mechanism for constructing custom programming languages using features from existing languages, with the composability and flexibility of Neverlang enabling the development of new languages by simply combining features from pre-existing ones and reusing corresponding support code, such as parsers, code generators, and integrated development environments (IDEs) or language server protocols (LSPs).
This course introduces the basic concepts of language development and provides an overview of Neverlang and its language product line approach. The course also includes a hands-on session where participants will work together to build a domain-specific language (DSL) and its full ecosystem."
