I have heard the expression that wiring bottom-up is "building a DLS for your problem".
That would explain why we don't see a lot of it in the Java world and therefore why "traditional developers" think it's useless - first, creating DSL may need stronger language than Java to be practical, and second, most of the DSL is already done as parts of Spring or JEE.
- MichaelGG 12y agoHa! All this time I thought DSLs were more, well, languages. More flexible syntax, or at least differently behaving functions or operators. Like some of those fluent APIs (usually not a fan), or test frameworks love to do. I'd not thought of just regular domain functions to be a DSL. I'm curious though, what do you mean that Spring is the DSL? Certainly that's the opposite, being so generic?
