Introduction to DSL
An introductory example. Introduction to DSLs -Terminologies – General Purpose language to DSL – Modelling & Model-driven development – Benefits of using DSL – Challenges – Applications of DSLs. Using Domain-Specific Languages – Defining DSL – DSL Lifecycle – What Makes a Good DSL Design – Differentiation from other approaches.
DSL Design
Conceptual Foundations – Program, Language and Domains – Model Purpose – Structure of Program and Languages – Parsing vs Projection. Design dimensions – Expressivity – Coverage – Semantics and Execution – Separation of Concerns – Completeness – Language Modularity Concrete Syntax. Fundamental Paradigms – Structure – Behavior – Combinations. Process issues – DSL Developments – Using DSLs. Concrete and Abstract syntax.
DSL Implementation
Implementing DSLs – Architecture of DSL Processing – The Workings of a Parser – Grammars, Syntax, and Semantics – Parsing Data – Macros – Testing – Handling Errors – Migrating DSLs. Internal DSL and External DSL implementation. Choosing between internal and external DSL. Alternative computational models – Decision Table – Production Rule System – State Machine – Dependency Network – Choosing a Model. Code generation. A Zoo of DSLs.
