SLE 2023 paper:
Cascade: A Meta-language for Change, Cause and Effect

Riemer van Rozen

• DOI: 10.1145/3623476.3623515
• T3A: Meta-languages
  • Cascade is presented as a meta-language for expressing change, cause-and-effect, and interpreter behavior for DSLs.
• T3C: DSLs
  • The meta-language is explicitly aimed at creating and retrofitting domain-specific languages with live-programming features.
• T4B: Horizontal Transformation
  • The approach relies on (bi-directional) model transformations and migrations to represent and propagate change.
• T4D: Interpretation
  • The accompanying runtime (Delta) executes transformations and maintains histories during program execution.
