NESTML: The NEST Modelling Language
NESTML is a domain-specific language for neuron and synapse models. These dynamical models can be used in simulations of brain activity on several platforms, in particular NEST Simulator.
NESTML combines an easy to understand, yet powerful syntax, with good simulation performance by means of code generation, through a flexible and user-friendly toolchain.
Documentation
Full documentation can be found at:

NESTML is a domain specific language that supports the specification of neuron models in a precise and concise syntax, based on the syntax of Python. Model equations can either be given as a simple string of mathematical notation or as an algorithm written in the built-in procedural language. The equations are analyzed by NESTML to compute an exact solution if possible or use an appropriate numeric solver otherwise.
