Abstract
Programming language design and implementation are still one of the challenges of computer science. Programmers use a variety of languages in their daily work, and new languages appear frequently. With formal methods for programming language description, a language designer has the chance to automatically generate a compiler or an interpreter. Unfortunately, compiler generators nowadays use linear textual specifications, which are less suitable then visual presentations. In this paper, a language development in a visual manner is described.
