The next programming paradigm is nearly upon us. It is not yet fully formed different parts have different names: Intentional programming, MDA, generative programming, etc. I suggest uniting all of these new approaches under one name, 'language-oriented programming', and this article explains the main principles of this new programming paradigm.

This approach is exemplified by persistence level generation performed by JetBrains Fabrique. An overall overview of Fabrique is also presented here.

For instance, we might want to use a library and find out how it works, or we might need to get acquainted with existing code and to modify it. Yet another example is that a new JDK becomes available and we are keen to see the changes in the standard Java libraries and so on. Conventional tools like find and replace text may not completely address these goals because when we use them, it is easy to find or replace too much or too little. Of course, if someone already knows the source code well, then using the whole words option and regular expressions may help make our find-and-replace queries smarter.

The problem of the conventional approach, even with regular expressions, is that they just do not know anything about the syntax and semantics of the source code we are using. This is why we combined the search-and-replace feature with knowledge about the source code, producing the Structural Search and Replace (SSR) feature.
