A DSL is also its usage
The title says it all, I think. Okay, it doesn't, I admit.
There is a lot of focus with DSL about the syntax. And there is some focus on the engine. There is very little focus about how both the environment and the usage of the DSL affect the DSL itself. Here are a few examples:
- Naming convention
- Script ordering
- Execution location (when you are running the scripts)
All of those are of particular importance in many DSL, not only for the actual execution, but for how the DSL itself is written.
