I guess it's kind of cheating, but they wrote YouTrack in MPS; they used to cite that in the footer, but I guess it was removed cause it was an implementation detail

I reached out to them to ask "what does that mean, written in MPS?" and they said they had a DSL for issue tracking that essentially generated executable YouTrack builds

Interestingly, Workday has a repo for MPS code reviews, although stale: https://github.com/Workday/mps-code-reviewer#readme

I was just wondering if the youtrack UI is so bad because it was generated from code rather than designed. I guess this is an explanation.
