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

FreeCHR: An Algebraic Framework for CHR-Embeddings
TL;DR: FreeCHR as discussed by the authors formalizes the embedding of Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) into a host language, using the concept of initial algebra semantics from category theory, to establish a high-level implementation scheme for CHR, as well as a common formalization for both theory and practice.

A tool-assisted approach to engineer domain-specific languages (DSLs) using Rust
TL;DR: In this article , the authors propose an approach to engineer a DSL using the Rust language, which can be used to target several environments, focusing on selecting an implementation language, Rust, that provides multiple compilation targets for a DSL definition.
