3. FOUNDATIONS
4. ➢ Open-sourced since 2012. ➢ Developed by JetBrains. ➢ Version 1.0 in 2016. ➢ Modern programming language ➢ Object Oriented. ➢ Statically typed. ➢ Less code with fewer bugs. ➢ Lambdas and properties. ➢ Nullable and non-nullable data type. ➢ Remove a lot of boilerplate from code. ➢ Readability. ➢ Functional constructs. ➢ Use Java Libraries. ➢ Immutability. Kotlin
5. ➢ Computer language specialized to a particular application domain. ➢ Contrast General Purpose Language ➢ Examples: HTML, R, SQL, VHDL ➢ BQL ---> Booking Query Language ??? Domain Specific Language
6. ➢ External DSL vs Internal DSL ➢ Externals are implemented via an independent interpreter or compiler. LaTex ➢ Internals are typically implemented within a host language as a library. Domain Specific Language
7. ➢ Context help to remove the noise. ➢ Ability to continue a conversation. ➢ You need fewer words you can be very expressive in a context. ➢ DLS is important to carry the context. ➢ Fluency is easy to read, it doesn’t feel like code. Context and Fluency
8. Kotlin DSL Examples
9. ➢ Nature of the language is very fluent. ➢ Optional semicolon. Semicolons break the flow. ➢ Drop () and . using infix notation. ➢ Extensions method. ➢ Lambda -- no () for passing last lambda. ➢ Implicit receivers. Kotlin DSL Capabilities
