The document describes a language framework developed in a managed (.NET) environment. It includes a compiler and interpreter for a domain-specific language for product configuration. The compiler utilizes parser generators (GPLEX and GPPG) to generate lexers and parsers in C#. Design patterns like Visitor and Adapter were used. Syntax highlighting is straightforward but code completion is complex and requires an incremental AST. The framework provides a flexible architecture through plug-ins.
