Hi Marc.
See Paul Hudak's position
paperhttp://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/hudak-paul/hudak-dir/ACM-WS/position.htmlon
DSELs, where you'll find definition, motivation & examples. See also
Peter
Landin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_J._Landin's "Next 700" paper.
If you have questions, please ask!
BTW, I hear both "EDSL" and "DSEL", and I don't recall which is more in
vogue and what reasons are for one or the other. Maybe Paul or someone
could comment.
Cheers, - Conal

Marc points out that the expressiveness of the Cabal language is insufficient for some packages, and a DSEL would be more expressive. Sorry, I've never heard abaut DSEL yet. I still feel like beening a total beginner.. ;) But I'll try to fill this lack of knowledge. I was thinking in IO monads as I didn't know something better..
Conal : Can you help me lifting my skills and tell me in some sentences how a build system could benefit from DSELs?
