Plans to implement Domain Specific Language tools?
« on: February 27, 2006, 11:10:42 am »
Does Sparx Systems have any plans to create software tools that would allow users to create graphical Domain Specific Languages (DSL's) via Domain Specific Modeling?

DSL's are considered to be more powerful than UML, and tools allowing users to create and to generate code from them are being released to market. Does Sparx Systems have any plans to produce such a tool?  ???

Some of the DSL tools on the market are rather expensive (just like a lot of the UML tools by other companies are expensive compared to Enterprise Architect), and I think if Sparx Systems were to come out with a DSL tool priced in the same range as Enterprise Architect, they would do very well.  ;)

Hi'ya

I just gotta comment on the bit about expensive!!!

This might be the case for non-Microsoft platforms, but after you've forked out for Visual Studio 2005 Professional and downloaded the VSIP (Extention and Intergration Package) you get a graphical DSL tool.  Admittedly, the free Express tools are not compatible with VSIP.

Stay tough
