Abstract Language workbenches are tools that provide high-level mechanisms for the
implementation of (domain-specific) languages. Language workbenches are an active area …

Abstract Language workbenches are environments for simplifying the creation and use of
computer languages. The annual Language Workbench Challenge (LWC) was launched in …

We describe a language-independent theory for name binding and resolution, suitable for
programming languages with complex sco** rules including both lexical sco** and …

A definitional interpreter defines the semantics of an object language in terms of the (well-
known) semantics of a host language, enabling understanding and validation of the …

IDEs are essential for programming language developers, and state-of-the-art IDE support is
mandatory for programming languages to be successful. Although IDE features for …

In previous work, we introduced scope graphs as a formalism for describing program
binding structure and performing name resolution in an AST-independent way. In this paper …

The realization of a language design requires multiple artifacts that redundantly encode the
same information. This entails significant effort for language implementors, and often results …

Static name binding (ie, associating references with appropriate declarations) is an essential
aspect of programming languages. However, it is usually treated in an unprincipled manner …

Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) are widely used beyond compilers in many tools that measure
and improve code quality, such as code analysis, bug detection, mining code metrics …

The modularization of domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) fosters individual
reuse of DSMLs in different contexts. Within this article, we discuss how it is possible to refer …
