1:00pm - 2:00pm Group discussion topics
- What are common best practices and lessons learned across DSL-development and IR-development experiences?
- What are the advantages of DSL specialization? What are the risks/disadvantages?
- What are the common traits of domains that benefit from having a DSL? When is it appropriate to create which type of DSL?
- Are there opportunities to combine efforts from (radically) different DSL projects?
Think common backend toolchains or common general-purpose embedding languages & metaprogramming tools. - Is there value in infrastructure to enable fast DSL development or development by non-specialists?
