I'm not sure how OMeta would help. At a textual level it's just a PEG-parser.
I can see how OMeta will make it easier to step away from parsing text though. Which is precisly the point, text is a bad representation to work in. I had some thoughts about how to approach the issue. I was thinking that you could represent the language in a more semanticaly rich form such as a RAG stored in a graph database. Then languages would be composed by declaring lenses between them. As long as there is a lens to a editor dsl you could edit the labguage in that editor. If you had a lens from SQL to Java (for example via jdbc) you could ebed SQL expressions in java code. Give transitive lenses it would also be a system supporting much reuse. A new DSL could then leverage the semantic editing support allredy created for other languages.
