Language workbench
Language workbench is a term introduced and popularized by Martin Fowler in 2005.[1][2] It describes a class of software development tools designed to define, reuse and compose domain-specific languages together with their integrated development environment. Language workbenches therefore follow the idea of language-oriented programming.
Language workbenches usually support:[1]
- Specification of the language concepts or metamodel
- Specification of the editing environments for the domain-specific language
- Specification of the execution semantics, e.g. through interpretation and code generation
