Editing Domain-specific language (section)

==Use==
The design and use of appropriate DSLs is a key part of [[domain engineering]], by using a language suitable to the domain at hand – this may consist of using an existing DSL or GPL, or developing a new DSL. [[Language-oriented programming]] considers the creation of special-purpose languages for expressing problems as standard part of the problem-solving process. Creating a domain-specific language (with software to support it), rather than reusing an existing language, can be worthwhile if the language allows a particular type of problem or solution to be expressed more clearly than an existing language would allow and the type of problem in question reappears sufficiently often. Pragmatically, a DSL may be specialized to a particular problem domain, a particular problem representation technique, a particular solution technique, or other aspects of a domain.
