I had typed up a longer response but I realized something rereading your reply.
But if you read my book, you could learn that “everything is an eDSL, whether you know about this or not”. Every structured code that has a certain idea is an eDSL.
I’d considered reading your book. I was actually thinking about buying it until I got this response:
So you designed an eDSL, it was bad, you removed this, and now you’re essentially saying the whole concept is a lie. But if you read my book, you could learn that “everything is an eDSL, whether you know about this or not”. Every structured code that has a certain idea is an eDSL.
has convinced me not to. in the future I recommend not writing paragraphs like this one.
ok, you’re smarter than I am. anything else? ultimately it’s us mere mortals that have to reap the consequences of any particular design philosophy. I’m not interested in this particular measuring contest, especially if it’s going to get technical.
