Ensō: A self-describing language workbench

Ensō is our external language workbench based on model interpretation.
DSL-based development is a rising paradigm in software engineer that
raises the level of abstraction and hides accidental complexity
through specialized language constructs that more closely align to the
problem specification. Ensō takes a lightweight approach to DSL
engineering by using models as a principal artifact of software
decomposition alongside general purpose code. It is auto-bootstrapped,
with an explicit meta-metamodel that is dynamically modifiable. In
this talk I will discuss some of the main features and ongoing work in
Ensō surrounding managed data models, language extensibility,
separation of (crosscutting) concerns, model vs strategy, and give a
demonstration of the tool itself.

Ensō is joint work with William Cook and Tijs van der Storm.
