Abstract
This paper is a written account of the keynote presented at the first International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE). Its key message is that although SLE is a new scientific field, we need to use existing knowledge from other fields. A number of research assignments are recognised, which are key research questions into software language design and use.
