DjDSL

Develop variable and mixed, internal and external, domain-specific software languages. djdsl is provided as a bundle of Tcl modules (TMs).

https://github.com/mrcalvin/djdsl

This is the supplementary Web site to the book entitled Variable Domain-specific Software Languages with DjDSL (Springer, 2020) by Stefan Sobernig.

The supplemental material includes the multi-DSL development system DjDSL.

• The following script files contain Tcl modules providing the main DjDSL components:
  • djdsl::lm: Define variable language models for DSL. See the djdsl::lm how-to.
  • djdsl::ctx: Define variable context conditions for language models. See the djdsl::ctx how-to.
  • djdsl::dada: Define variable internal DSL syntaxes. See the djdsl::dada how-to.
  • djdsl::opeg: Define variable external DSL syntaxes using composable parsing grammars (PEG). See the djdsl::opeg how-to.
  • djdsl::v1e: Define variability models for DSL-product lines. See the djdsl::v1e how-to.
• doc contains the doctests for the five main components (NX/Tcl modules) that form DjDSL (see how-tos above).
• tutorials contains important background material on internal DSL patterns in NX/Tcl, DSL development in NX/Tcl, and the application cases featured by the book.

Quickstart

1. Download the self-contained executable (djdslkit) for your OS from the releases page.
2. Execute djdslkit from your terminal or command prompt to enter the DjDSL/Tcl shell:

On Linux:

$ chmod u+x djdslkit-latest-linux
$ ./djdslkit-latest-linux

On macOS:

$ chmod u+x djdslkit-latest-osx
$ ./djdslkit-latest-osx

On Windows:

C:\Your\User> djdslkit-latest-windows.exe

3. In the DjDSL/Tcl shell prompt, load a DjDSL component and proceed by working through the various doctest examples or tutorials, e.g.:

% package require djdsl

or

% package require djdsl::v1e

then follow the djdsl::v1e how-to.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

See the sub-projects READMEs to learn about the required dependencies.
