DSL Roadmap
Domain specific languages are focused tools for solving narrow problems well. This track will eventually cover language design, grammar, parsing, compiler construction, interpreters, bytecode, and virtual machines.
DSL Study Progress:
| # | DSL | Topic | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: Language Foundations | |||
| 01 | Overview | Purpose, scope, and the problems DSLs are meant to solve. | |
| 02 | Syntax | Tokens, notation, and the surface form of a language. | |
| 03 | Grammar | EBNF, rules, precedence, and language structure. | |
| 04 | Parsing | Lexers, parsers, ASTs, and syntax error handling. | |
| Phase 2: Implementation | |||
| 05 | Compiler Design | Front-end, middle-end, back-end, and code generation pipelines. | |
| 06 | Crafting Compilers | Scanner, lexer, parser, and code generation foundations for language tooling. | |
| 07 | Interpreters | Tree-walking execution, evaluation, and runtime environments. | |
| 08 | Bytecode | Instruction sets, stack machines, and portable execution formats. | |
| 09 | Virtual Machines | Execution models, memory layout, and runtime isolation. | |
What comes next
Each topic page starts as a lightweight placeholder so the roadmap can be expanded later with examples, diagrams, and implementation notes.
