Domain-specific language: Applications & Technology

A domain-specific language (DSL) is a programming language specialized to a specific application domain. This is in contrast to a general-purpose programming language, which is broadly applicable across domains. There are a wide variety of DSLs, ranging from widely used languages, such as SQL, down to languages used by only one or a few pieces of…
