Cleanliness is Next to Domain-Specificity

Ben Scofield

This document discusses domain-specific languages (DSLs) and how programming languages can influence thought. It provides examples of Ruby code for querying a travel API using different approaches, from low-level HTTP requests to a more domain-focused interface. The document concludes by encouraging developers to start modestly, stay focused on the problem domain, and iteratively improve.
