However, in the day-to-day practice, modeling is usually regarded as, basically, a waste of time. .... More
The list of participants in this year’s edition of the Language Workbench Challenge is now available. The web page also has the results of the inaugural edition last year, with a very interesting matrix comparing the different language workbenches that participated.
