Milan Šović, Daniel Elero, Igor Dejanović: Current Developments in Tooling and Editor Support in textX

textX1 is a meta-language for building Domain-Specific Languages in Python. Inspired by Xtext, it leverages Python's dynamic nature to provide a more lightweight approach to building DSLs and parsers.

In this talk, after a brief introduction to textX, we will focus on recent developments in tooling and editor support. The new textX playground2 will be presented, allowing users to interactively create grammars and experiment with programs/models. Additionally, we will showcase developments in support for the Language Server Protocol and VS Code integration for textX languages3.

The presentation of new features will be conducted through a live demo of building a small DSL for drone navigation. The code and instructions for the demo will be available on the project site and Git repository.
