DSLDI 2017

 DSLDI 2017, colocated with SPLASH in Vancouver, October 2017.

Please submit to

DSLDI is a single-day workshop and will consist of an invited speaker followed by moderated audience discussions structured around a series of short talks. The role of the talks is to facilitate interesting and substantive discussion. Therefore, we welcome and encourage talks that express strong opinions, describe open problems, propose new research directions, and report on early research in progress.
Proposed talks should be on topics within DSLDI’s area of interest, which include but are not limited to:

• solicitation and representation of domain knowledge

• DSL design principles and processes

• DSL implementation techniques and language workbenches

• domain-specific optimizations

• human factors of DSLs

• tool support for DSL users

• community and educational support for DSL users

• applications of DSLs to existing and emerging domains

• studies of usability, performance, or other benefits of DSLs

• experience reports of DSLs deployed in practice

Quill

Flávio Brasil has released Quill, a Scala library that supports database query via the QDSL technique, as described in our papers A Practical Theory of Language Integrated Query (ICFP 2013) and Everything Old is New Again: Quoted Domain Specific Languages (PEPM 2016).

Strange Loop: "Everything Old is New Again: Quoted Domain Specific Languages" by Philip Wadler

I have many more favourites from Strange Loop 2015, but for now I will just post the videos of my own talks. Here is "Everything Old is New Again: Quoted Domain Specific Languages", based on "A practical theory of language integrated query, by Cheney, Lindley, and myself and the eponymous draft paper, by Najd, Lindley, Svenningsson, and myself. Above is the Strange Loop talk, below the talks from Curry On, Prague, 2015 and DSLDISS, Lausanne, 2015.

Summer School on DSL Design and Implementation

The Scala team at EPFL is running a Summer School on DSL Design and Implementation, 12-17 July in Lausanne, Switzerland. They have a great line-up, including Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Kunle Olukotun, and Matthew Flatt. I'll be there, speaking on A practical theory of language-integrated query and Quoted Domain Specific Languages: Everything old is new again.
