Nah, it’s simply not a feature that exists. They’d need to implement an OAuth system or something along those lines.

But even if they do, what happens if the instance you authenticated from shuts down? You probably won’t be able to login anymore without having credentials there as well.

Lol, that’s Neuro and Vedal 😄

Semi related: I unintentionally compromised someone’s account by registering their expired domain once.

They used the domain for some accounts and I’ve been getting emails for them due to using a catch-all filter. I contacted most of those service providers support teams, but some just told me to reset the password and login that way. Needless to say that disregard for privacy infuriated me a bit.

So yeah, if you ever register a domain for something, make sure all references to it are gone when you let it go.

Good luck with the project.

I want to request a not-feature: One time I extracted an archive with an odd command that ended up dumping all its contents without directories straight into the base folder of the archive without a way to undo that. Please don’t make that possible with your tool. 😂

I had to manually clean up the directory.

I mean yeah, funny greentext, fake and gay and all, but is that an actual thing that happens across the big pond?

If someone did that in Europe they’d be in serious legal trouble if the threatened party sues.

Am I out of the loop?

Why don’t people like Pizzacake?

Like many others already said. Being self taught is ok, but employers need at least some kind of confirmation about your skills. So getting some kind of officisl certificate will make your job search a lot easier.

Microsoft offers a bunch of .NET certificates if you do their C# courses for example. You can also become a certified Linux professional.

Find something that interests you and then start learning by doing some tutorials. The most important thing is that you have fun and won’t burn yourself out working in a field you don’t enjoy.

Where I’m from there’s demand for Web Devs, Java devs, .NET devs, It Support, Network Engineers, Embedded systems, whatever.

It doesn’t compile or transpile in actuality. It generates Java based on an abstract syntax tree. The concrete syntax is not considered in Java generation by MPS.

Because it was easier to use Java primitives than implement the constants myself.

MPS uses projectional editing. Which means for the user that everything you do is free from concrete syntax, and you basically edit a graphical representation of that abstract syntax tree directly, while it looks like you’re in a textual editor.

So I define abstract nodes that may have certain relationships with each other and then give them a representation in the editor (which is what you see in the screenshot). These nodes may also have generators assigned to them, which use map/reduce operations to generate whatever source code I desire. It usually includes its own bit of code, and triggers code generation of its children as well.

I hope that was somehow clear 😄

Great idea if I have to extend it

I like the way you think! 😂

Yes, it pretty much just wraps the expression in a “System.out.println();”

Fortunately I generate Java source code from it. However MPS generates both source and byte code when you build the solution. For some reason I can’t get the byte code to run though, but the source code does, so I don’t care too much.

Very cool, I’d be interested in your publications once you’re done. I like metaprogramming, but once you realise you might have needed it, you’re already knee deep in fresh legacy code.

Valuable input! I actually am an undergrad student. There are a lot of frameworks out there that support writing languages, with MPS being one of them.

If I’d start from scratch again and had a little more time, I’d frankly try writing an interpreter myself, instead of trying to conform to weird framework syntax, which I won’t be able to reuse in any other context.

Saying syntax design is fiddly is an understatement. I focused very hard on getting an abstract syntax somehow finished before working on generation in my first iteration. Then I had so much technical debt, that I couldn’t get anything to work and had to rewrite a lot. So I scrapped it all and started again, starting with top level concepts including generation and only implementing some lower level ones, once everything around it worked properly.

You’re correct, but it doesn’t really matter for demo purposes. In an actual use case (whatever that would be for this language) you would of course want to use some kind of variable or expression there instead of a constant.

It’s a tool for designing domain specific languages. Really interesting!

Correct!

Vibe check is pretty much the scope. Classes aren’t a thing (yet).

Well done, here’s your price: 🏅

You may redeem it for a star on a GitHub repo of your choice.

It all gets put into the main method though in this version 😄
