Gareth Jones and I ran a workshop on "software factories and DSLs". Some of the points that came out clearly for me: Composing languages.

Composing languages: a DSL can also be categorized based on whether it an encapsulated DSL that represents an application domain (e.g. finance, medical, etc) or an aspectual DSL that represents a concern that cuts across the application (concurrency, exception management, etc). Aspectual DSL are more difficult to compose and integrate as they influence the semantics of the other DSL. What type of support is currently provided or planned for aspectual DSL with MS DSL tool? <br> <br>2. Late composition: but the downside of using fixed, separate DSL such as embedded SQL in C is that you can't perform domain validation, optimization, etc. Do you see this as a major disadvantage? <br> <br>Cheers <br>Susan<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=412834" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alan_cameron_wills/archive/2005/04/27/412540.aspx#412596Wed, 27 Apr 2005 17:14:05 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:412596Steve Cook's WebLogAlan Wills has blogged some results&amp;amp;nbsp;from the DSL workshop at the SPA conference, which I mentioned...<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=412596" width="1" height="1">
