ecently, there has been a revival of interest in domain-specific languages (DSLs). Not only are these languages able to provide a higher level of abstraction over a specific domain (and thus help eliminate errors that stem from low-level constructs in a universal language), but they also provide an effective mechanism for users to fine tune your applications by providing extra configuration, custom business logic, and the like. Altogether, DSLs can make your containing applications much more flexible and versatile.
