>From my understanding having two meta models has the following benefits:
1) It isolates codegenerator from DSL syntax. Changes in DSL syntax have
less impact on code generator. One can for example improve the
'syntactic sugar' of the DSL, and easily adopt transformation without
any changes in code generator. Event the completely new model language
(e.g graphical with UML) for the domain coud be introduced without any
changes in code generator.
The drawback here is keeping in sync two meta-models.
2) One can enrich the model with derived elements facilitating
development of code generator templates.

Subject: [Fornax-developer] Customizing Sculptor
Hi all,
I've decided to use Sculptor to develop model driven, but I plan
to make some changes in it to adapt it to our needs in the company.
I've been taking my time in understanding the internal design,
so far so good! But I have a doubt about the necessity to use two
models: the DSL one and the one used by the code generation, It would be
nice if you guys can help me understanding which is the purpose of each
one and which are the main differences.
Then I think I'd be able to customize the models,
transformations and code generations so I can get what we need. By the
way, great job developing this tool, really like it so far!
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Betania Bellera Sosa
