> I was not trying to be confrontational. Sillysaurus said he did not see much merit in perusing the book after professing some experience in language implementation, and I felt an answer based on personal learning was in order as a counterpoint. Good Books, that actually teach something and mean something are exceedingly rare... this quality, is of course often quite personal. Thanks for the thoughtful response. I think sillysaurus was trying to ease anxiety for people (like sillysaurus) who may not get something out of an otherwise highly regarded book. Sillysaurus backed up the statement by saying they had successfully implemented DSLs many times, despite not getting anything from this book. I think this sentiment expressed by sillysaurus is valuable, and in a domain that is often elitist and somewhat hostile, I thought sillysaurus’ position was worth defending for the sake of anybody who might be approaching this with any apprehension. I was advocating for people that might need some encouragement, which is what I saw in sillysaurus’ comment, and that I thought you were tearing down. I appreciate you intended no ill will though. Cheers.
