Example-Driven Software Language Engineering
summary
Proposes a concrete example-driven definition method: define language constructs by annotated code examples that specify concrete syntax, abstract syntax (features like name, parent, fields), formatting, validation, typing rules and code generation templates. Shows a web UI mockup with example list, hybrid textual/projectional editor, spreadsheet-like annotator for rules, and outputs including a language definition export, transpiler templates or an LSP. Delivers a small prototype idea but reports implementation is very early phase with typing and scoping annotations still unresolved for production use in the web-based workbench.
