Java Posse Episode 364 - Sept 24th 2011
Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com
- JavaOne, BoF, Party, Closing keynote
- The obligatory patent news roundup:
- Project of the week - VisualLangLab
- If you are observing the crop of new languages springing up at present (like Kotlin, Ceylon, etc.) and think to yourself "I could do better than that", well, now's your chance.
- VisualLangLab is a graphical tool for designing language grammars.
- The tool gives you the ability to examine the resulting abstract syntax tree from a code snippet passed through your grammar, and helps you write the grammar you want.
- And it's not just for full blown languages. The project could be used for developing free-form domain specific languages just as easily.
