Ugh. Not another proprietary DSL.
There is something amiss in the tech world these days. Too much esoterica and too many specialized tools, too many points of failure and dependencies, and too much duct tape. But, mostly, too much reinvention for frequently incremental "gains".
It seems normal, but it's really a mess. Environments are overly complex and it's a wonder anything works half the time.
At some point we will completely jump the shark. From there, my bet is there'll be a powerful movement towards simplicity.

- GFK_of_xmaspast 11y agoBut all the lisp people always talk about how incredible it is that one can have all sorts of DSLs....
- solipsism 11y agoCompletely different. The Groovy DSL is a limited subset of Groovy. Lisp DSLs are embedded DSLs. They're libraries that help you write code in what looks like a new language, but the entirety of lisp remains at your disposal.
- lispm 11y agoThere are a lot DSLs writtn in Lisp, which don't use Lisp syntax and are not embedded.
