Oh, your markdown-editor looks really shiny... have you since given up working with ometa?

That's not me, its somebody else's blog. I only discovered ometa a couple months ago. I'm looking forward to trying it for a project soon, but the documentation I've found is pretty scattered. Here's a decent tutorial though: https://github.com/rulemotion/ometa-tuts/blob/master/tut1.md

Thanks for that. Yes, I'm a little sad a lot of the VRI stuff has a bit of "abandonware" feel -- I suppose they view it at just some (half-silly) proof-of-concept code, but I think a lot of this stuff could be really useful right now.

I really wish they'd taken the time to package it up, and license it under some Free licence -- I'd hate for this stuff that doesn't seem to require anything in the way of special hardware -- languish and disappear in a similar way to Smalltalk -- for no good reason.
