Specialist engineering

Domain-specific languages, and the IDEs they deserve.

Automata designs domain-specific languages and builds the custom editors and IDEs around them—so domain experts can express rules directly, without programming experience.

DSL engineering

Make domain rules executable.

Language design, syntax and semantics, parsers, type checkers, interpreters, validators, simulators, debuggers, and model-driven generation.

Xtext and Langium workbenches support JVM/Eclipse and TypeScript/web targets.

Custom IDEs

Give specialists tools built for their work.

Language Server Protocol services, VS Code extensions, Eclipse-based IDEs, and web or embedded editors around a language server.

When it fits

When configuration has outgrown generic files.

Useful when experts must write rules directly, invalid states need to be caught at edit time, simulation is required before deployment, or models should generate consistent artifacts.

Public evidence

Inspectable language-plus-IDE work.

ia-toolset

A textual modelling language with composition and refinement checking, simulation, debugging, and a language-server editor with a VS Code extension.

Deliberately limited

This is a specialist service with a limited number of engagements each year. A conversation begins with the domain and tooling gap—including whether a language is genuinely the right answer.
