Using Scala for building DSLs

Scala is a very powerful OO + FP language which is well suited for building DSL’s and for writing highly concurrent programs – we will explore these areas. Some very powerful, expressive and type safe DSL’s have been written using Scala for e.g. Foursquare uses a type safe expressive DSL called Rogue, the integration open source project Camel has a Scala based DSL. My talk would describe how to build DSL’s using Scala, what features in Scala help make it a great option for building dsl’S AND SOME GREAT OUT THERE examples of DSL’s built in Scala.
