## Ceylon IDE - Behind the Scenes
Considered XText, DLTK, IMP & “DIY”
XText - very complete, but does not allow Antlr and require XText custom parser and typechecker
DLTK - allows Antlr, but at the time no good documentation and a preference to by “too dynamic language focused”
IMP - allows antlr and custom typechecker and just worked, but..
## Ceylon IDE - Next Steps
IMP has many limitations when you push it
XText still too much “XText”
DLTK looks interesting
End result probably a mix of the above in a “DIY” solution
