This is an Expert Discussion Panel on Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). The concept of DSLs has hung around a long time and some think that it may be close to going mainstream. If you've heard the term and need clarification or just want an overview of a maturing technology you may want to take a listen.
DSLs are not mainstream and I have yet to form a cohesive opinion on them yet, but the concept interests me and I continue to look into it periodically.
If you'd like additional resources here are some written commentaries on the topic:
- A DSL can change the way you think (Joe Kutner )
- Language Workbenches: The Killer-App for Domain Specific Languages? (Martin Fowler)
