The Howdy Glossary

M# (pronounced M-sharp) is an open-source programming language for building general-purpose software, with a focus on data-intensive applications and systems. M# integrates closely with the CodeFluent Entities tool to promote model-driven development practices, where business logic can be expressed in models rather than code. The language includes syntax reminiscent of C#, but with features tailored towards template-based code generation from these higher-level models. M# is designed to help developers create complex database schemas, domain models, web services and user interfaces from a single high-level representation of their system's architecture. This approach can lead to faster development cycles, reduced redundancy in codebases, and better maintainability by automatically updating generated artefacts when business requirements evolve.
