Abstract
The goal of this chapter is to give a perspective on language workbenches, as well as to provide an overview of the MPS features. It starts with an introduction to language workbenches and motivations for DSL development. It then continues with an overview of how languages are created in MPS. Projectional editing is explained and its benefits for DSL design discussed. Other essential aspects of language definition, such as language testing and migration, are covered as well. Finally, useful pointers regarding the MPS ecosystem and the user community are provided.
