What is meant by domain-specific?  Here is a quick definition to help you understand domain-specific languages, but first you need to understand what a general-purpose language or GPL is, these are programming dialects that can be used to tackle a wide variety of problems using one of these languages. e.g C++, C#, Java, Ruby, Python, Rust. domain-specific languages or DSL for short are created to work on a known problem they are often created within an organization that wants a way to define their solutions us...
