Gosh I remember those days.  Eat code, eat code, eat code, sleep a litte, code, then code some more.  Then got married.  Eat, code, listen to bitching, do crap to shut her up, then back to coding.  For some reason she thinks I like my computer more than her.

I realise you don't support it, lost interest?
  
  
Could you list the stuff you've written that you support?

No :-)
  
Admittedly, I did implement Ctrl+Alt+V (Extract Business Term) in one IDE, but that is about it.

Several times, actually.
  
Here is one:
  
[ayende.com/.../Rhino-ETL--IDE.aspx](http://ayende.com/Blog/archive/2007/08/14/Rhino-ETL--IDE.aspx)  
  
And for my book, of course.

I _DID_ do a build system, I just remembered.
  
And while it isn't full blown compiler, I would say that my DSL work is pretty close

I disagree, there's usually a cost/benefit ratio whenever you need to choose to NIH or not. It normally costs you the time to develop and a reduced number of features but it saves you some time learning someone else's api . 
  
  
Another benefit to rolling your own, is that you'll know your software intimately, how it works/performs so when there is a bug rather than trolling through forums looking or waiting for a fix you can do it yourself.

I've just code spiked Rhino Security and I love what I've seen. Also, I can see myself checking out Rhino ETL in the future.
  
  
So a big thank you for making my development work look a whole lot better than it ever would have been.

One of the few known exception to this rule is known as the "ayende" exception, because "ayende" happens to improve stuff he reinvents. The "ayende" exception should kept confidential because way too many people tend to think they can be an "ayende" exception too :-)

Is the right approach shown in your DSL book?
