Care to write an external DSL in Ruby ?

I mean : write a parser and interpreter for a DSL. In Ruby.


I see. Nope. I do not like code generators.

I'm not talking about "code generators", I'm talking about implementing
a language with another language.

In this sense every template
system is DSL.

Indeed.

E.g. Smarty Templates for PHP. You can create "external DSL"
even in C or assembler.

Indeed.

This is not the point. The point is Ruby is much
better suited to create internal DSL than Python

Care to back your claim ? Or are you just parroting what you read from
some clueless guy more concerned with hype and buzz than with reality ?

or PHP.

Please compare what is comparable.
