In Maven 3 there are new DSL replacements for the POMs. See: http://polyglot.sonatype.org/groovy.html for the wonderfully terse syntax. Is there something similar that can be used for Spring applicationcontext.xml files? ...
I'm in the job of writing a compiler which compiles a project-specific DSL (with the features of a basic scripting language) into an project-specific assembler language. The platform is written in C#, so a native .NET-Compiler would be the perfect solution. I already did a lot of research and it seems ANTLR would fit in the job of build...
Coming from Ruby to Javascript, creating DSL now seems not as fun as in Ruby where it was very beautiful and elegant. Ruby Rake: task :hello do # do stuff end task :hello => [:dep1, :dep2] do # do stuff end Javascript Jake: task("hello", function() { // do stuff }); task("hello", ["deep1", "deep2"], function() { // do ...
I have been looking at a couple of books and resources on domain specific languages. I think I want to build an internal DSL in Scala. def instrument = new FXInstrument { provider = "EuroBase" instrumentOrders = List( new FXOrder { baseCcy = "GBP" termCcy = "EUR" legs = List( ...
I am struggling with a Scala implicit conversion problem. The following code snippet illustrates my problem : import org.junit.{ Test, Before, After }; class ImplicitsTest { implicit def toStringWrapper(str: String) = new StringWrapper(str); @Test def test(){ val res1: Predicate = "str" startsWith "other"; } ...
We've just started to kick the tires pyparsing and like it so far, but we've been unable to get it to help us parse fractional number strings to turn them into numeric data types. For example, if a column value in a database table contained the string: 1 1/2 We'd like some way to convert it into the numeric python equivalent: 1.5 We...
From Coffeekup and JAML's source, (while working on question), we can see a way to hack ruby's instance eval into Javascript (JAML author explains more). It involves decompiling the function, and evaluating it around a with block. The question is: is this supported all around browsers/js runtimes? I know it works on firefox, opera and c...
Is there any DSL (Domain Specific Language) implemented in Clojure ? ...
I have 5000 data item definition configuration which we are expecting to be designed like, -- Name of the device VARIABLE Name { type=Float, length=20, <<few more definition here>> } -- The device running elapsed time since its last boot VARIABLE BootTime { type=Integer, <<few more definition here>> } I will be...
I want to be able to write code like 10 times { doSomething } So I thought I could do that with implicits. When i execute the following code in the Scala REPL it gets defined correctly scala> implicit def intToMyRichInt(count: Int) = { | new { | def times(f: => Unit) = { | 1 to count foreach { _ => f...
Hi, I am learning boo (got the ebook), but one question I have is what exactly is a DSL? Better question, if a DSL is geared towards a specific problem, then isn't it just another name for really an application space (e.g. Word Processing, DBMS, maths processing software), all solve their own problems. I ask this because recently a cou...
