TLDR
A number of DSLs spanning various phases of software development life cycle in terms of features that elucidates their advantages over general purpose languages and perform in depth study by practically applying a few open source DSLs: ‘Cascading’, Naked Objects Framework and RSpec.Abstract:
To match the needs of the fast paced generation, the speed of computing has also increased enormously. But, there is a limit to which the processor speed can be amplified. Hence in order to increase productivity, there is a need to change focus from processing time to programming time. Reduction in programming time can be achieved by identifying the domain to which the task belongs and using an appropriate Domain Specific Language (DSL). DSLs are constrained to use terms and concepts pertaining to an explicit domain making it much easier for the programmers to understand and learn, and cuts down the development time drastically. In this paper, we will understand what a DSL is; explore a number of DSLs spanning various phases of software development life cycle in terms of features that elucidates their advantages over general purpose languages and perform in depth study by practically applying a few open source DSLs: ‘Cascading’, Naked Objects Framework and RSpec.read more

Cross-Language Code Analysis and Refactoring
Philip Mayer,Andreas Schroeder +1 more
TL;DR: This paper advocates a generic approach to understanding, analyzing and refactoring cross-language code by explicitly specifying and exploiting semantic links with the aim of giving developers the same amount of control over and confidence in multi-language programs they have for single- language code today.

Extracting models from source code in software modernization
TL;DR: Grammar-to-Model Transformation Language (Gra2MoL) is a domain-specific language (DSL) tailored to the extraction of models from GPL code which incorporates extensibility and grammar reuse mechanisms and provides a powerful query language which eases the retrieval of scattered information in syntax trees.

Everything old is new again: Quoted Domain Specific Languages
TL;DR: Quoted DSLs (QDSLs) as discussed by the authors allow the DSL to share the syntax and type system of the host language by normalising quoted terms, which enables using higher-order types in the source while guaranteeing first-order type in the target.

Change propagation and bidirectionality in internal transformation DSLs
Georg Hinkel,Erik Burger +1 more
TL;DR: A new formalism describing incremental, bidirectional model synchronizations using synchronization blocks is presented, and it is proved the ability of this formalism to detect and repair inconsistencies and show its hippocraticness.

Domain-specific languages
TL;DR: This book covers a variety of different techniques available for DSLs and can be used with whatever programming language you happen to be using, most of the examples are in Java or C#.
