>> Scripts are definitely not configuration file. >> I would say the line is Turing-completeness. >> For me, DSL are half way between configuration files and scripts _you_ would say. >> If they are not Turing complete they are configuration languages. If they are, then they are programming language (with a specific use case). Or, you could say that DSLs are what they are: "Domain Specific Languages". Which means that can either be a set of static definitions a-la configuration file, or on another side they can be scripts. All of these definitions fit really well the meaning of "Domain Specific Language".
