I would like to create a set of domain objects in multiple languages, so that I can target different platforms. I have been looking at external DSLs as a way to define a language for my domain, and then potentially writing adapters that generate code for the languages I'm interested in targeting. Is this the best way to solve this prob...
After a bunch of XML config files, I've seen Java moving to Annotation based configurations. Are annotations playing the role of DSL here? Is it because the static nature of Java? I'm thinking in Ruby which doesn't have ( afaik ) things like that. Is it because Ruby has good metaprogramming capabilities? Are there alternatives ( I m...

Hi, as I wrote a small PHP framework with a DSL parser, and I'm not satisfied with the result, is there any tool like Treetop for PHP? It would lead to far better (and nicer) results. ...
Im trying to code my own DSL for file manipulation, just for the sake of learning. My goal is to make it understandable and easy to code. Here are 3 alternatives for appending a string to a database.yml: 1. append("windows").to("database.yml") 2. append(string: "windows").to(file: "database.yml") 3. append_string("windows").to_file(...
I'm trying to build a handy dsl-ish query ability into my javascript. given: var query = "lastName = 'smith' and firstName = 'jack' or city = 'vancouver'"; what's the most elegant way of parsing this sql-esque string into usable objects such as: [ { field:'lastName', operator:'=', value:'smith', join:'and' }, { field:'firstName...
Im using MongoDB and Ruby. I have noticed there are different DSL:s. The Javascript DSL used with the MongoDB client (mongo): show dbs use my_db db.person.find({first_name: "Syd"}) The Ruby DSL used with the Ruby driver for MongoDB: connection = Mongo::Connection.new connection.database_names.each { |name| puts name } connection.da...
I'm implementing in Groovy a DSL for some existing file format. In this format we have a construct like group basic_test { test vplan_testing { dir: global_storage; }; }; And here I have problem with this dir: global_storage - groovy considers "dir:" as a label, so I can't handle it. Do you have an idea how I can rec...
We are currently developing a project in .NET that involves analyzing XML documents against a set of user defined rules.

I am struggling to create a SQL DSL for Scala. The DSL is an extension to Querydsl, which is a popular Query abstraction layer for Java. I am struggling now with really simple expressions like the following user.firstName == "Bob" || user.firstName == "Ann" As Querydsl supports already an expression model which can be used here I dec...

Hi, I'm trying to implement a language (or family of languages) whose grammar can be changed dynamically. I have found no examples that serve as study cases.

My requirements are that I provide a way for Business Analyst-types to specify XSLT-like transformations without the complexity of XSLT or XPath. Basically there are incoming XML documents and the client needs to be able to specify situations where elements/subtrees should be edited/removed/replaced/added. It will essentially be a rule...
