One of the challenges I have experienced when giving talks or blogging about domain specific languages is that developers are a little reluctant to writing code in languages they are unfamiliar with. This holds true even if the DSL in question is an external Read More...

Yesterday I came across Chris Wanstrath Ambition project which is very similar to my Quaere project. To exemplify the similarities between LINQ, Ambition and Quaere, here is the same query expressed in each "language". LINQ var expensiveProducts = from Read More...

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's a DSL!
15 July 07 06:11 AM | andersnoras | 7 Comments   
My latest posts on DSLs caused a bit of a stir around the blogosphere. Some of of the more constructive debates have been on wether a fluent interface is just a fluent interface or if it can be labeled as a DSL. I have a consultant's answer to this; it Read More...

Anonymous types for J
12 June 07 06:29 AM | andersnoras | 1 Comments   
In a recent post I showed how lambda functions are emulated in my LINQ-like Java DSL . Today I extended the language to support n-tuple anonymous types. The most common use case will be to project parts of a query result into a new type, so the implementation Read More...

XML DSL for Java 1.5
25 April 07 09:22 PM | andersnoras | 3 Comments   
Lately I've been playing around with embedded DSLs for Java. Regular readers might remember my little LINQ experiment from a while back . Java 1.5s support for static import is a great way to "extend" the Java language with new expressions, and I'll be Read More...
