Internal Domain Specific (Multi)Modeling js framework

Really small, simple, incredibly powerful and super fast Descriptive Internal DSLs tools.

"A Babelut(t)e is a sort of long toffee flavoured with honey or vergeoise (demerara sugar) from [...] Flanders, Belgium".

Etymology : "[A french word that] is likely to come from the Flemish "babbelen", speaking a lot, and "uit", finished because when you eat the toffee, you cannot speak anymore (either because you are enjoying it or because you cannot open the mouth).[...]" - src : wikipedia

Babelute.js core library (this lib) provides helpers to :

• define and manage Internal DSLs for modeling any kind of problems
• with a simple (meta)grammar - based on Method Chaining - for writing structured unambiguous "sentences" (called babelutes)
• and to provide ways :
  • to manage dictionaries of related lexems that form DSL semantic fields (called lexicons)
  • to translate DSL sentences to other DSL sentences (through dedicated bridge-DSLs with its/their own lexicon(s))
  • to interpret sentences in many context with specific fine grained dedicated semantics (called pragmatics)

Core Libraries

• babelute (this lib)
• babelute-uus : Universal Unambiguous Sentences proposal : Welcome in Sharing Era.

Understanding by examples

(work in progress)

Low Level DSLs (Developement related domains) :

• babelute-aright : Objects and types validation DSL (ultra-fast, ultra-modular) (realease in april 2017)
• babelute-html : HTML5 DSL and its isomorphic render-engines. (modern, one of the world's fastest, one-way-binding templating (React philosophy))
• babelute-lexicon-definition-language : Babelute Lexic Definition DSL and its generators. (realease in april 2017)

High Level DSLs (Human related domains) :

• babelute-cooking : High Level Cooking DSL demo and its bunch of transformations and DSLs targets. (realease in april 2017)
