Abstract

Last decade witnessed a disappointing lack in technology transfer from formal semantics to language design. Research in formal semantics has developed increasingly complex concepts and notation, at the expense of calculational clarity and applicability in the development of languages. Montages is a visual domain-specific formalism for specifying all the aspects of a programming language. It is intelligible to a broad range of people involved in the language life cycle, from design to programming language descriptions are fed to a rapid prototyping tool, called Gem-Mex, which generates a visual programming environment for the given language. Gem-Mex consists of a graphical front-end which allows a comfortable editing of the visual components of the specification. Starting from these visual descriptions the tool is able to generate in an automatic way high-quality documents, type-checkers, interpreters and a visual symbolic debugger. All these products form a powerful suite where the programmer can write, execute, animate and debug programs written in the specified language.
蒙太奇/Gem-Mex:一个元视觉编程生成器
在过去的十年里,从形式语义到语言设计的技术转移缺乏,令人失望。形式语义的研究发展了越来越复杂的概念和符号,牺牲了语言开发中的计算清晰度和适用性。蒙太奇是一种用于指定编程语言的所有方面的特定领域的可视化形式。对于参与语言生命周期的广泛人员来说,它是可理解的,从设计到编程语言描述都提供给称为Gem-Mex的快速原型工具,该工具为给定语言生成可视化编程环境。Gem-Mex由图形化前端组成,它允许对规范的可视化组件进行舒适的编辑。从这些可视化描述开始,该工具能够以自动的方式生成高质量的文档、类型检查器、解释器和可视化符号调试器。所有这些产品形成了一个强大的套件,程序员可以编写,执行,动画和调试用指定语言编写的程序。
