Ask HN: Good books about DSL creation

3 points by roeles a year ago · 2 comments · 1 min read


In the past year I learnt about the usefulness of (and sometimes need for) domain specific languages. I am wondering if you have recommendations for books about creating a DSL? I saw Martin Fowler's book online, but perhaps there are also other good ones?

I program mostly in C++, and I am interested in DSLs partly for formal verification.

Very good recent book "Building user friendly DSL's". I went through quickly it was comprehensive and worthwhile to dig deeper. It's in JavaScript.

"Domain-Specific Languages" by Martin Fowler and Rebecca Parson might be interesting: https://martinfowler.com/books/dsl.html
