Feed Description: Obie Fernandez talks about life as a technologist, mostly as ramblings about software development and consulting. Nowadays it's pretty much all about Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
Dave Clarke and Tobias Wrigstad of CWI in the Netherlands have a new blog called Fistful of Languages that looks promising. Some words from their introductory post:
Recently, DSLs have broken into the collective consciousness otherwise known as the blogsphere. The interest within the blogsphere of developing internal DSLs in Ruby is particularly vivid (spurred by the popularity of Rails). This is no surprise, as Ruby offers both powerful metaprogramming facilities and palatable syntax, making it suitable for writing DSLs.
Here?s where the ?Fistful of Languages? blog comes in. This blog aims to address all aspects of DSL development, focussing particularly on DSLs embedded in Ruby.
Via LtU, which has a couple of DSLarchives. As a reminder, one of our Ruby heroes at ThoughtWorks, Jay Fields, has been blogging extensively (and with lots of code samples) on the subject of internal DSLs in Ruby for several months.
