There's a project to create a language similar to Modelica as a DSL in Julia, Modia[1]. I'm not currently a user of either language, but saw a presentation at JuliaCon about it[2] and thought it looked interesting.

- jpfr 6y agoThat looks really promising. But development seems to have completely stopped earlier this year. Anybody knows what's going on there?

- michaeltiller 6y agoFYI, it is by the same people who initiated the Modelica effort (Hilding Elmqvist and Martin Otter). I think part of the goal was to shed having to maintain a whole language (and the need to specify all the semantics details of such) and simply leverage a language that had macros. I haven't really heard many updates on this in some time. I don't think it is necessarily a bad idea. But any effort along these lines takes a lot of dedicated people quite a while to make progress (as was the case with Modelica).
- pflanze 6y ago> by the same people who initiated the Modelica effort Thanks for pointing this out, I hadn't realized! I knew they were somehow involved in the Modelica community but not that they initiated it.
