This session, run by Jon Flanders focused on the new M modelling language - specifically MSchema and MGrammar. To be honest the entire session concentrated on using MSchema to generate T-SQL to create a database which I didn't feel was a great example and certainly wasn't real world.
We already have a perfectly good textual DSL for building databases - it's called T-SQL, and just like the DSL, it can be split across multiple files, can generate data, and can be stored in source control for versioning.
I really like Jon Flanders, he's a great guy, and he did a much better job of presenting M that I ever could, but I honestly didn't enjoy this session one bit.
