Editing Compiler-compiler (section)

==== CWIC addressed [[domain-specific language]]s before the term [[domain-specific language]] existed ====
From the authors of CWIC:
 
"A metacompiler assists the task of compiler-building by automating its non creative aspects, those aspects that are the same regardless of the language which the produced compiler is to translate. This makes possible the design of languages which are appropriate to the specification of a particular problem. It reduces the cost of producing processors for such languages to a point where it becomes economically feasible to begin the solution of a problem with language design."<ref name="CWIC" />
