(Domain-specific languages (DSLs) assist a software developer (or end-user) in writing a program using idioms that are similar to the abstractions found in a specific problem domain) Wikipedia, July 11, 2007 (Domain-specific programming language -- A domain-specific programming language (domain-specific language, DSL) is a programming language designed for, and intended to be useful for, a specific kind of task ... DSLs have also been called by various names: Little languages, Macros (in reference to the macro feature found in spreadsheets, word processors, and other applications, and not to the powerful programming language macros, which are frequently employed to implement DSLs), Application languages, Problem-oriented languages) FOLDOC, July 11, 2007 (domain-specific language -- A machine-processable language whose terms are derived from a domain model and that is used for the definition of components or software architectures supporting that domain. A domain-specific language is often used as input to an application generator) Dictionary of computer science, engineering, and technology, 2001 (domain-specific language -- any language which contains specific instructions to support a particular application domain. For example, languages for writing discrete event simulation, payroll systems, or operating systems are instances of domain-specific languages) |
