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

On the use of an internal DSL for enriching EMF models
Filip Křikava,Philippe Collet +1 more
TL;DR: This paper argues that some of these shortcomings are mainly related to the scalability of the OCL language and its trade-offs between domain-specificity and general-purpose, and presents an alternative approach based on an internal DSL in Scala.

DOMain Specific Type Error Diagnosis (DOMSTED)
TL;DR: This work will enable EDSL developers to safely, transparently and noninvasively provide domain specic type error diagnosis, and will enable the designer of the rules does not need to have intimate knowledge of the internals of the compiler.
