Indeed :) I've actually been thinking about that. And from what I can tell, LISP DSLs are simply extensions to the LISP language. But maybe I still haven't gotten my head wrapped around '*defmacros*' and how they implements DSLs. It seems to me though, that someone could still want to parse *SQL* or *XQuery* or any *non-s-expression grammar*. And I don't see how to do that with '* defmacros*'. So, clojure does currently handle non s-expression grammars, but...
- XML - uses Java's xml parser facility - Regex - is handled by Java's regex facility - etc Am I missing something here? From what I can tell, you'd still need an outside library, or Parser Generator (BNF or otherwise), to handle something like SQL or XQuery.
