Domain Specific Languages
This document discusses domain-specific languages (DSLs), which are computer languages targeted at specific problem domains rather than general purpose programming. It provides examples of early DSLs like APT and defines DSLs as languages aimed at particular software problems. The document outlines advantages of DSLs like improved productivity and runtime efficiency. It also discusses considerations for developing DSLs such as domain analysis, design choices, and whether to implement internally or externally. Examples of real-world DSLs include SQL, Ruby on Rails categories, and a sample DSL for employee compensation.
