Recently, I’ve been playing a lot with Meta programming System of JetBrains. I feel that it has a lot in common with my idea of Paradigm Oriented Programming. In the way that it defines the language by links, adjectives and things (i.e. dimensions) that form together an abstraction as a language for a certain domain.

The package comes with Java already implemented, that can be quite handy, as it makes it easy for us to embed languages and concepts inside Java. But there is something that bothers me here; does Java (or even C#) work as an IL, a basic flexible language that other designed DSL will be interpreted to? Actually I strongly doubt that. First of all Java syntax comes already with a lot of constrains, static typing, curly brackets and a lot of other imitations.
