Here's my problem: We have N applications running in M different environments (qa/prod/etc.) with P servers per environment. Multiplied out, the number of unique configurations is in the hundreds. Each of these applications has a set of environment-specific properties (public hostname, listening port, max memory, etc.). Multiplied ou...
Construct is a DSL implemented in Python used to describe data structures (binary and textual). Once you have the data structure described, construct can parse and build it for you. Which is good ("DRY", "Declarative", "Denotational-Semantics"...) Usage example: # code from construct.formats.graphics.png itxt_info = Struct("itxt_info",...

I'm evaluating languages for a computational oriented app that needs an easy embedded scripting language for end users. I have been thinking of using Scala as the main underlying language and Jython for the scripting interface. An appeal of Scala is that I can define methods such as :* for elementwise multiplication of a matrix object a...
I looked into Logix and EasyExtend for Python. Logix hasn't been around for a while and it failed to install on Python 2.6. EasyExtend's tutorial is hopeless, the code in the tutorial doesn't even work. I am looking for something so I can write my DSL. My DSL will be used as a research tool. And I don't want to spend time learning all t...
I would like to add syntax to Jython to enable a nicer API for users. For instance, matrix libraries like NumPy would benefit from having both matrix and elementwise operations like Matlab's :* vs. * infix operators. You can create a matrix in Octave using: A = [ 1, 1, 2; 3, 5, 8; 13, 21, 34 ] which is considerably nicer than NumPy's...
Thanks to suggestions from a previous question, I'm busy trying out IronPython, IronRuby and Boo to create a DSL for my C# app. Stop one is IronPython, due to the larger user and knowledge base. If I can get something to work well here, I can just stop. Here is my problem: I want my IronPython script to have access to the functions in ...

I am trying to get up to speed with Irony. I keep seeing some terminology that I don't yet understand: terminals, non-terminals, token, state machine, Associativity, Abstract Syntax Tree. Can someone please give some meaning to some of these terms? I keep reading great things about Irony, so any help you can give with learning how to us...

Lua has a really nice no-parenthesis call syntax that coupled with function closures allow me to write the following local tag = 1 function test(obj) return function(str) return function (tbl) tbl.objtag = tag tbl.objname = str return tbl end end end test (tag) "def" { } test tag ...

For a little night project I would like to write a validation component that could be used in .NET application to do the usual and tedious validation of object, input parameters and post conditions. My first idea was to dump all this validation setup logic into a XML configuation file and provide a liquid interface for the people that w...
Hello Guys, I have the following problem to solve: Currently we have a metadata tree of the databse schema that has a in-memory representation and a proprietary schema XML serialization as well (that is we can read/write all the in-memory data to an xml file). Currently I am developing a Visual DSL solution (diagram-like), to allow ...
Info: VS2010, DSL Toolkit, C# I have a custom constructor on one of my domain classes which adds some child elements. I have an issue as I only want this to run when the domain class element is created , not every time the diagram is opened (which calls the construtors) public Entity(Partition partition, params PropertyAssignme...
I'm building a spreadsheet-like application, where a lot of small calculations needs to be stitched together in a tree-structure. These calculations are user-defined and I need a way for the user to enter them at runtime. My current approach is to write a small "expression DSL" in F#, where I parse the input with FParsec, build a syntax...
