Domain Specific Languages

Definition

Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are computer languages specialized for a particular application domain, rather than for general-purpose programming. They are designed to express solutions in terms relevant to the specific field, simplifying complex tasks for domain experts. For instance, a DSL for financial modeling would use terms and structures familiar to economists or traders. This focused approach enhances expressiveness and can lead to more efficient development and verification within their intended scope.
