vidarh discovered 3 months ago- From the page: "It may not yet be an industry tsunami, but there certainly is a growing wave of interest in Domain Specific Languages. As often happens when thinking about programming language design, there appears to be an excessive concern with syntax and little talk of semantics. Dave Thomas points out how much effort is wasted playing syntactic games to make code look like English; effort that would be better spent identifying and representing the domain. To prove his point he talks about make and active record and Groovy builders as examples of successful DSLs. I've stumbled upon some more examples of semantically interesting DSLs on a couple of papers and thought it would be worthwhile to share some stuff I learned in the process. "
