JetBrains MPS Blog

JetBrains MPS is a language development tool and as such needs a common place for its users to easily share their languages. There wasn’t such a place until today. The good news is that this has just changed. If you open-up the plugin manager in MPS and click Browse repositories, you’ll see a list of available plugins, which you can immediately install with a single mouse click.

As you can see, we’ve only just started. The number of plugins will grow over time as we all contribute our languages. I’d like to encourage you, if you have created something worth spreading feel free to upload your work for others to use. We all will benefit.

Develop with pleasure!

If some plugins are not necessary for your current work they can be simply switched off, which may have impact on the overall performance of the platform. Feel free to take inspiration from my current setup:
