Just last week I went through the calculator tutorial and I gotta say nah this ain't it. I had hope even though I knew what the deal with projectional was going in and indeed I was disappointed. The number of proprietary "dsl"s you have to grok to be proficient at using MPS is just mind-boggling and that's coming from someone that designs dsls for a living. Like by the time you get to codegen you're already 3 or 4 deep. And it's only for codegen, where you're generating Java, that you get the full projectional editor treatment. Everything else is just a gui form for some small "dsl" with effectively dropdowns, so you might as well just call it an API for a configuration system rather than a language. Like there's zero composition for the structure "language" and the editor "language". You're literally just toggling forms. It's just a complete turn-off because even if it is "powerful" it's completely non-portable - you cannot ship anything without shipping MPS to orchestrate the cascade of dsls. I tried to get mbeddr to work but could not even though I can drive gradle and etc fine. Overall really disappointing.
