SugarJ is a Java-based programming language that provides extensible surface syntax, static analyses, and IDE support. SugarJ extensions are organized as libraries; conventional import statements suffice to activate and compose language extensions. We illustrate how programmers can use SugarJ to modularly extend Java’s syntax, semantic analyses and IDE support.
