IdeaLingua RPC/DML

IdeaLingua is an RPC framework & Domain Modeling Language, it’s purpose is to:

• Share & publish APIs and data models in a common concise format
• Allow remote calls to services given their public API definitions.
• Create idiomatic API clients and servers for all programming languages – currently Scala, TypeScript, C# & Go.
• Support frontend-to-backend and backend-to-frontend calls (ala push notifications, via buzzer definitions)
• Abstract away details such as the network protocol or the serialization format.
• Save developers from untyped and brittle REST.

IdeaLingua is a part of the Izumi Project. Izumi (jp. 泉水, spring) is a set of independent libraries and frameworks allowing you to significantly increase productivity of your Scala development.

including the following components:

1. distage – Transparent and debuggable Dependency Injection framework for Pure FP Scala,
2. logstage – Automatic structural logs from Scala string interpolations,
3. idealingua (moved to 7mind/idealingua-v1) – API Definition, Data Modeling and RPC Language, optimized for fast prototyping – like gRPC, but with a human face. Currently generates servers and clients for Go, TypeScript, C# and Scala,
4. Opinionated SBT plugins (moved to 7mind/sbtgen) – Reduces verbosity of SBT builds and introduces new features – inter-project shared test scopes and BOM plugins (from Maven)
5. Percept-Plan-Execute-Repeat (PPER) – a pattern that enables modeling very complex domains and orchestrate deadly complex processes a lot easier than you’re used to.
