Home Automation using Oslo!
I came across an interesting blog post written by Kris Horrocks where he has talked about building a textual DSL using MGrammar for home automation. The reason why he decided to build a DSL like this was to understand the gap between the Oslo team vision and the current state of the bits that customers are using. It’s worth reading this interesting post titled - "Oslo is running my house", to understand the power/potential of the Oslo platform. This I feel is a great example of how we can utilize the Oslo platform to do tasks other than just creation of enterprise applications or framework components. I am sure that this is just the beginning and going forward we would see more such interesting DSLs being written to solve interesting "real life" problems using the Oslo M Language. In fact we can already find some interesting stuff in the "M" Language Gallery. The "M" Language Gallery is the place to find grammar and schema definitions implemented by both Microsoft and the community.
