More from Intentional Software
I know it's old news, but I just got a chance to watch Charles Simonyi discussing the Intentional language workbench and it's really interesting for anyone interested in the future of working with DSLs.

It's going to be an interesting year . . .
They have been developing solutions for 100% code generation for over ten years in a wide range of domains and they have just released a new version of their flagship product today - MetaEdit+.
I have not had a chance to play with the latest product, but it's something I am going to make the time to do this weekend. If I was ever to give up my homegrown system for commercial tooling, MetaCase is the company I'd very probably go with.
If you have any interest in the possibilities of code generation, I'd thorough recommend checking out MetaCase's website. If nothing else, it's a great example of what can be done in terms of 100% code generation.
And in case it isn't clear, I don't get paid for referrals/etc. I just think that they are *that* good. MetaEdit+ may or may not meet your use case, but it's definitelty worth checking out as an example of what can be done - even if you don't use it for your projects.
Here's the information on the latest release.
If you get a chance, you might also want to tune in earlier in the day to hear what Kevin has to say about the work he's done on the Fusebox Scaffolding. That's at noon EST which is 4am Sydney time, so I'm going to have to catch the recording, but it looks like being interesting stuff.
Many thanks to Charlie Arehart for all his hard work in putting this together.
