Language design and implementation are still one of the challenges in computer science. Programmers use a variety of languages in their daily work, and new languages appear frequently. With formal methods for programming language description a language designer has a chance to automatically generate a compiler or an interpreter. Unfortunately, compiler generators nowadays use linear textual specifications, which are less suitable then visual presentation. In the paper a language development in a visual manner is described.
