Purpose-Built Languages.

The article discusses the role played in systems development by the ecosystem of purpose-built languages. Purpose-built languages defy a definition, the author states, but seem smaller than full-fledged programming languages, are not always Turing-complete, and can lack formal grammars and parsers....

      ab: The article discusses the role played in systems development by the ecosystem of purpose-built languages. Purpose-built languages defy a definition, the author states, but seem smaller than full-fledged programming languages, are not always Turing-complete, and can lack formal grammars and parsers. The author examines two questions which include whether software engineering is being done on fewer languages over time and the characteristics of a computer language that make it better suited for particular tasks.
