This “DSL” acronym is used everywhere nowadays; mistakenly so I think. A DSL (domain specific language) is like cold-fusion, R or VHDL; it is a complete language designed with the target domain in mind.
- dschiptsov 12y agoNow tell us, please, how looping constructs in CL aren't DSLs and how it how it contradicts your definitions. hint: the term DSL was popularized by SICP. One needs high-order procedures to implement a simple DSL, the feature which wasn't available in most language but Lisps.
- gkya 12y agoWell, looping constructs are not related to a particular domain (e.g. electronic circuit design), but are general purpose construct.
