Hi all,

Can XTend be used to write higher order transformations (HOTs)? I have currently used Epsilon ETL to write the transformation rules between a UML Profile model and an XText model. Now I should use higher order transformations. I believe that they will serve me to generate the text. Do you know if this can be done in XTend (cause a lot of people have suggested me to use Xend), and if so do you have any tutorials or examples on how to write HOTs? (especially in XTend).

Thank you!

Hi

(It really is time that you do us the courtesy of using your real name; apologies if John Doe is your real name.)

Xtend is layered on Java so there is probably no limit to what you can do with a little/lot-of imagination. However, I don't think that Xtend has tracked the latest Java features such as lambdas so you may be better off using Java directly.

Regards

Ed Willink

well, xtend has lambdas and we have extra features that are suitable for model 2 model transformations like create extensions and the with (=>) operator.
but how this makes suitable for HOT no idea.

you may read/hear here on xtend and model 2 model transformations
