Creating your own domain-specific languages (DSLs) is both challenging and
exhilarating. DSLs give users a way to interact with your applications more
effectively, and Kotlin is a fantastic language to serve as a host for
internal DSLs, because it greatly reduces the pain and effort of design and
development. But implementing DSLs on top of Kotlin requires understanding
the key strengths of the language and knowing how to apply them
appropriately. Learn to avoid the pitfalls and leverage the language while
creating your own elegant, fluent, concise, and robust DSLs using Kotlin.
Internal DSLs remove the burdens of implementing a full blown language
compiler. The host language quickly becomes your ally to creating DSLs, but
the syntax you can choose for your DSLs is limited to what the host
language allows. You can work around the limitations by tactfully bending
the rules and exploiting the language capabilities. Learn the power of
Kotlin and ways to design with it, in the context of crafting internal DSLs
Start by learning ways to exploit the flexibilities of Kotlin to make your
DSLs fluent, expressive, and concise. Then pick up techniques to extend the
language with domain specific properties and functions. Quickly move ahead
to tie your DSL snippets into the runtime environment and context of
execution of your applications. Design to prevent any non-sensical syntax
in your DSL that may otherwise be valid in the host language. Finally,
learn techniques to gracefully handle errors. Practice using the multiple
examples that are included in each chapter. Fire up your editor and follow
along each example to become proficient in designing and implementing your
own internal DSLs using Kotlin. What You Need: Kotlin version 1.3 or later
and your favorite Kotlin IDE or code editor.
