Open Source
DSL Forge
80+ GitHub stars · Open-source framework
DSL Forge is an open-source framework for generating web-deployable textual DSL editors from ANTLR grammars. It bridges the gap between language specification and browser-based IDE tooling, powering both Coding Park's interactive coding environment and client DSL platforms.
Developed during the Thales mission (2015–2018), open-sourced and maintained since. Used as the technical foundation of Coding Park (educational platform for primary schools). Funded in part by CIR/CII declarations under JEI status.
About
About Plugbee
Amine L.
Founder & Senior Engineer
Plugbee is an independent engineering studio founded in 2015. We work at the deep end of the developer tools stack: Web IDEs, language servers, DSL runtimes, and cloud infrastructure. An ecosystem where very few consultants operate at a senior level.
The studio was born out of 10+ years of hands-on architecture work across 8 industries: aerospace, finance, energy, logistics, transport, and education. Every engagement has been at the architecture or tech lead level. No generalist work, no junior handoffs.
Plugbee also maintains DSL Forge, an open-source framework for generating web-deployable DSL editors, and was the technical backbone behind Coding Park, an interactive coding platform for primary and secondary school students.
