| Let's look at DSLs that which they were DSLs. To be kind we'll limit ourselves to javascript. On the building side we have Grunt and the less popular but still useful Jake. Ember's property system is a DSL. Angular's DI syntax is a DSL and as much as I love Angular there's really nothing to like about the horrible mix of ([{ that one has to use here. Actually Ember and Angular and just about every meaningful javascript framework defines several small DSLs. Pencil Code is an excellent learn-to-program DSL built on Iced Coffeescript. Coffeescript's crazy syntax makes DSLs slightly more approachable than Javascript but only for a while. Express and most server frameworks define a DSL. Anytime you find yourself passing a non trivial config struct you're really playing with a DSL. This is by no means a complete list. |
