You do not need it. But is a clear and handy way to present the logic/algorithm, if you are learning C anyway. I would even say, that if C allows for a clear description of the procedure, clearer as plain text, it indicates how good an

Absolutely no. It may have specific syntax, but is not needed. Where do you have such definition? In fact the typical example is in Lisps, where you add no syntax. Is not about fancy functions. And not about new syntax. Is about adding sema

You are 100% right in all, except you are talking about syntax extensions (the for example) and not DSL. A DSL does not need a new syntax, is a collection of abstractions that allow to express problems in the language of the domain problem.

> If you're not changing any syntax and are just using normal function calls, that's an API and that's direct. No. Sorry. Wrong. Look SICP where they explain the concept of embedded DSl. Hint: you may be conflating syntax

Mmmm danger! Then let’s stop doing anything that is difficult? If that is bot the message, what is that? “These things are hard, often don’t work, but GO FOR IT”? I pretty much read: “try to avoid” which is bad advice in my opinion. Like “d

I would say that is the line between DSL and just “L” another language…
821.
by f1shy 2y ago
I think you misunderstood what a DSL is, or at least the point of the OP? We are advocating exactly to keep the syntax the same as the base language, and add semantic value through the abstractions of the language.
822.
by f1shy 2y ago
Exactly. Good DSL are typically (although not always) embedded in another. When that is the case, they tend to be a perfect abstraction (if decently implemented)
823.
by f1shy 2y ago
So any DSL as an embedded language inside another.

DSL are just great, have never failed for me. I have done it several times, the last one just the past year, for programming complex ASICs. I‘ve seen uncountable times working like a charm. I cannot understand why seems it was bad for him…

Swiss also… everywhere. And the laws are not so different in the USA as the rest of the world as often portrayed. Also the violence all around the world is more uniform than many think or want to admit (if counted relative to people count)

That low regard in the history has change to hate, persecution and qualified vote, to mention a few. Specially when not saying “they are wrong” but “they are incapable of thinking”. So per se both a bad thing, but I personally regard such e

Actually, you are right. And even when I do think that the EU has many good and also many many bad things, I think is good all in all. My choice is still no to insult people who think differently, in a such complicated not-white-black topic

No doubt it happens elsewhere. I meant only what I know for fact. Bur a good example where seems very much to be running similar is e.g. Boeing

You have a point. The problem in the german car industry there is no technical leadership. From the bottom management upwards they are all politicians. No technical people.

That is a little harsh. Good that democracy is about respecting the opinions of other people.

I can absolutely attest to this. Like 200%. The level of incompetence in SW is just beyond comprehension. Just mind blowing. Unbelievable stupid.

And born date! Just a little bit of background: if you call to any clinic or private service, health or otherwise, is custom in Germany to verify your identity asking your born date and address; both fields were disclosed. So if I see X par

I just keep hearing the same point of inflection, about golf 5. Then there was a big decline, not only VW, but all the others also. What happened?!

I do not think 2 is ridiculous. Not at all! But I agree we should fear that from all vehicles, no matter what make.

Is it not that the tech sector is regarded as right skewed?
