Your success—and sanity—are closer at hand when you work at a
higher level of abstraction, allowing your attention to be on
the business problem rather than the details of the programming
platform. Domain Specific Languages—"little languages"
implemented on top of conventional programming languages—give
you a way to do this because they model the domain of your
business problem.

DSLs in Action introduces the concepts and definitions a
developer needs to build high-quality domain specific
languages. It provides a solid foundation to the usage as well
as implementation aspects of a DSL, focusing on the necessity
of applications speaking the language of the domain. After
reading this book, a programmer will be able to design APIs
that make better domain models. For experienced developers, the
book addresses the intricacies of domain language design
without the pain of writing parsers by hand.

The book discusses DSL usage and implementations in the real
world based on a suite of JVM languages like Java, Ruby, Scala,
and Groovy. It contains code snippets that implement real world
DSL designs and discusses the pros and cons of each
implementation.
