Instead of writing code in a programming language for general purposes, you can build a special language designed to make you efficient in a particular domain. The key is to understand the general patterns are found throughout the implementation of the language identified. Language Design Patterns and condense the most common design patterns, provides a sample implementation of each. Implementation Patterns using Java, but the pattern itself is really common. Conversely, Language Design Patterns show patterns that you can use for all types of application languages. You will learn to create a configuration file reader, data reader, model-driven code generators, translators source-to-source, source analysis, and interpreters. Each chapter groups related design patterns and, in each pattern, you will gain experience by building a complete sample implementation.
