Can I inherit from other langauges?

I would like to create a new language by extending another language (for

example, let's say I want to extend the base-language with a construct

called "property" that would generate a field, a get and a set-method).

How would I go about doing that? It would be convenient to just be able

to choose a language to inherit from when I do a "New Language". I would

then inherit the whole structure and all editors, and be able to add new

structure and editor nodes for my extra constructs.

You can extends concepts from another language. And everything will work

correctly. But in models you have to add both languages in language dialog.

For example in MPS jetbrains.mps.bootstrap.editorLanguage uses concepts

from jetbrains.mps.baseLanguage. Collection language extends baseLanguage.

Thanks for the fast reply! I see how it works.

hi, you will find inheritance in the "agreement" demo where agreementLanguage inherits (includes, extends ?) from formulaLanguge.
