| | Domain-specific programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A DSL is somewhere between a tiny programming language and a scripting language, and is often used in a way analogous to a programming library. | | | DSLs are called from more full-featured languages, like C or Perl, to perform a specific function, often returning the results of operation to the "host" programming language for further processing. | | | A domain-specific language (DSL) is a programming language designed to be useful for a specific set of tasks, in contrast to general-purpose programming languages. |

| | MF Bliki: DomainSpecificLanguage |
| | The basic idea of a domain specific language (DSL) is a computer language that's targeted to a particular kind of problem, rather than a general purpose language that's aimed at any kind of software problem. | | | Domain specific languages have been talked about, and used for almost as long as computing has been done. | | | One community that uses DSLs a lot is the Unix community where they are often referred to as little languages or mini languages. |

| | Domain-Specific Languages - An Overview |
| | Architecturing software using a methodology for language development. | | | Because DSLs can be highly declarative and hide much of the implementation details, some of them can be considered more as specification languages than programming languages. | | | Recognizing a DSL as both a parameterization mechanism and an interface has an impact on structuring and reasoning about the software. |

| | Alan Cameron Wills' WebLog : Domain Specific Languages |
| | Domain Specific Languages can be thought of as an extension of the idea of Software Product Lines. | | | Because within a specific domain, the solutions are generally well mapped out, it is sufficient for a DSL to talk about the requirements rather than the solutions. | | | A domain specific language is, well, a language specific to a domain. |

| | USENIX - Conference on Domain-Specific Languages - Call for Submissions |
| | Language is central to the discipline of software engineering. | | | However, not all languages address the problem of general-purpose computing: domain-specific languages (DSLs) are explicitly designed to cover only a narrow class of problems, while offering compelling advantages within that class. | | | Papers, which will be published in a proceedings, will be judged on the depth of their insight and the extent to which they translate specific experience into general lessons for domain-specific language designers, and implementers, and software engineers. |

| | Domain Specific Languages |
| | Domain Specific Languages are customized computer languages for a certain kind of application domain (as opposed to general purpose programming languages like C or Haskell or Java). | | | It is the constructs of the language that can be optimized during compilation instead of general purpose constructs. | | | Having a computer language allows for the connection to automatic tools for doing transformations, simulations, verifications, testing and more. |

A Logical Approach (EECE 571F= Domain-Specific Languages) |
| | A DSL is a very high-level language that a user can learn and use in less than a day. | | | The DSL system is explored using stochastic abduction (for what-if queries) and treatment learners (to find controllers for that system). | | | The premise of this subject is that computers should adapt to the ways of people, and not the other way around. |
