Practical Domain-Specific Languages in Groovy

This document discusses Groovy's capabilities for building domain-specific languages (DSLs). It provides examples of how Groovy allows flexible syntax through features like optional typing, closures, builders, and the meta-object protocol (MOP). The MOP allows intercepting method calls at runtime to change behavior. Groovy is well-suited for DSLs as it can seamlessly integrate DSLs into applications and its compiler supports transformations.
