Abstract

In the previous chapter, you received a brief introduction to the different kinds of DSLs. In this chapter, you will see how to build an internal DSL. Some languages use the acronym DSL to indicate a subset of a language used in everyday life. As an example, we can think of software such as Chef or Puppet, in which it is possible to use “RubyDSL” to write the configuration files.
