JetBrains MPS Blog http://blogs.jetbrains.com/mps JetBrains Meta Programming System Team Blog Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:09:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 en MPS on air http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jetbrains_mps/~3/fi5TBgoj6dA/ http://blogs.jetbrains.com/mps/2012/02/mps-on-air/#comments Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:09:46 +0000 Václav Pech http://blogs.jetbrains.com/mps/?p=512 You might have noticed that the MPS channel on JetBrains TV is getting quite busy with new videos. We’ve recently shot several instructional screen-casts to help beginners familiarize themselves with the tool. Markus Voelter shared his story on why and how they use MPS to build mbeddr - a C-based programming environment for embedded devices. Daniel Stieger with Berthold Agreiter shot a two part overview demonstration of their modellwerkstatt.com product. And there are a few more screen-casts to show up at JetBrains TV soon.

If this is the kind of content you’d like to watch fresh, I suggest you tuned the MPS channel right away. This way you won’t miss a beat.

Now, the most important message - the channel is open to all MPS fans to display their own stories, ideas and tips. Have you discovered a feature of MPS that you’d like to highlight for others? Do you build an MPS-based product? Have you created an inspiring DSL that people should know about? Please use JetBrains TV and add your voice to the choir.

Version 2.0 has just been released bringing tons of new features and improvements. You might have heard about some of these, if you followed our progress as MPS marched through the several milestones on its way to maturity. Just to briefly recap the major highlights of MPS 2.0:

  • Support for creating standalone customized language IDEs
  • Type-system improvements plus the ability to trace type calculations
  • Scripting and customization of the build process
  • Redesigned UI for merging different versions safely and intuitively
  • Intelligent paste code from Java
  • The Dataflow Analyzers language
  • New organization of editor tabs
  • Tabular editors
  • Reorganized Make/Generate actions
  • Performance and memory optimization

For more detailed description of these and other new features, please refer to the What’s new page. If you downloaded the RC-5 release last week, you are all set, since there were no changes made after RC-5. Otherwise, this is definitely a good time to download MPS 2.0 and do some serious business with it.
