Domain Specific Programming Language Classification
Domain Specific Programming Language Classification
Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language:
In software development and domain engineering, a domain-specific language (DSL) is a programming language or specification language dedicated to a particular problem domain… The opposite is a general-purpose language, such as C, Java or Python…
Related to my post on emergent programming languages, here’s my first proposal for taxonomy for the domain classifications:
- According to customer requirements
- Business Domain (E.g. insurance, banking, sales)
- situated applications
- Programmers
- According to age (e.g. languages for kids)
- According to experience (e.g. beginner’s languages)
- collaborative programming
- Programming paradigms
- Imperative
- Functional (e.g. Haskell)
- Meta-Programming (e.g. Rascal)
- … (see Wikipedia)
- Classify according to Output
- For websites (e.g. HTML output)
- For diagrams
- For texts (e.g. regular expressions)
- Code generation (e.g. Compiler generators, metacompilers)
- Game developing
- Natural language generation
- Manipulating Objects / Input
- Text manipulation (e.g. regular expressions)
- File manipulation (e.g. shell scripting)
- Media manipulation (pictures, videos, sound)
- Natural language processing
- Relational database querying
- Mapping Reality
- Business rules engines
- Simulation tools
- Artificial intelligence
- Support Software Development Process
- Code checking (e.g. profilers, consistency checker)
- Documentation
- Tools for build and deployment
- Versioning and archiving code
- Support management processes
- Rapid software prototyping
- Support for design patterns
- Special Hardware Target
- Microcode
- Assembler
- Programmable controller (PLC/SPS)
