Hello all, how can I convince my bosses to use existing functional languages for specifying the future embedded softwares from the company instead of using Xtext or other things that firm under the name "model driven development". The softwares are mission critical. A local cooperation is already building an research institute with the goal of "model driven development". Why they do not use plain Haskell, LiquidHaskell and Coq? Neither can I imagine, that Haskell or Coq is so hard to learn, neither can I imagine that they want the developers to dive through handwritten Java extensions for their tool, that can only be analyzed with Java-tools and cannot be proven. Is XText, for example, really so good? Is a Haskell-DSL as a counterpart, not very much fewer dependent on other things, and very much easier to maintain? Thanks for suggestions and arguments Puck
