Question

I have a current need to greatly increase my knowledge around DSLs. Who are the big names in DSLs? What blogs should I be reading?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Martin Fowler has written a book on DSLs (Amazon link). Ayende Rahien has completed a book on writing DSLs in Boo, which also is available online via Manning's early access program. The former is conceptual while the latter is a practical guide.

OTHER TIPS

You can read a lot of interesting stuff about language design on the Lambda the Ultimate blog.

Martin Fowler is the first one that jumps to mind. He has links to other resources on his page, too.

I know that's an old question, but I enjoy reading eelco visser's blog

Martin Fowler and Eric Evans for a start.

Jimmy Nilsson perhaps.

Paul Hudak is one of the people who worked on Haskell, and has written this paper about implementing embedded DSLs in Haskell.

Ayende Rahien blogs about various things, including DSLs via Boo
