The basis of making DSL with Ruby
Speaker(s)
Yasuko Ohba (Everyleaf Corporation)
Abstract
Ruby is well known as a language with which you can create your own DSL easily. Making DSL with Ruby is really easy, but there seem to be many developers who have not tried to make DSL with Ruby by design. In my opinion, there is no clear boundary between 'Useful APIs' and DSL. However, we can always judge whether a code is like DSL or not, that means, we can create DSL by design. In this talk, I'll start by looking into what DSL is and when to use it. After that I'll talk what concepts, habits and techniques you need to make your own DSL, showing typical examples from famous DSL codes like Rails, RSpec and so on.
