Were I an attendee at your presentation, and should your presentation weigh too-heavily on this as a constraining definition of “what a domain-specific language is,” I might find myself a bit thrown-off-the-bus.
Of course, because you didn't get the point. Re-read the OP. This is not about DSLs in general, but about internal DSLs, which can mean: a) a subset of the perl language which addresses some domain, b) a perlish way to write some DSL code.
Diatribing about DSLs in general is not requested and off topic.
perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

Why bother replying to a worst nodes champion?
Please inform yourself about Dunning–Kruger effect before feeding a Ig Nobel prize contender. ;-p
> a) a subset of the perl language which addresses some domain,
Actually if you mean something like the RegEx engine I'd say it's external.
Anyway the definition is from the author I mentioned in the OP (Martin Fowler), and might be fuzzy at times.
> b) a perlish way to write some DSL code.
Yes, my main interest are DSLs which are implemented using Perl vocabulary and syntactic sugar.

Your self-defined meaning for everything is vastly different from what everyone else knows and can prove. Give it up Mike, you're lies are transparent | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |
