Enso differs&lt;br /&gt;from existing systems in several ways.&lt;br /&gt;Enso focuses on language interpreters&lt;br /&gt;rather than language embedding or transformation/compilation.&lt;br /&gt;These interpreters are examples of generic operations,&lt;br /&gt;which are operations that are guided by an ESL.&lt;br /&gt;To integrate multiple ESLs and implement cross-cutting aspects,&lt;br /&gt;Enso uses interpreter wrapping and composition.&lt;br /&gt;Enso supports both textual and graphical presentations.&lt;br /&gt;Enso is implemented using itself with a tight bootstrap process&lt;br /&gt;and dynamic typing. Enso will ship with a collection of&lt;br /&gt;extensible languages for data modeling,&lt;br /&gt;web programming, GUI development, access control, database access,&lt;br /&gt;software evolution, among others.</div>
