==Development==
▲A book that describes this concept, with examples, is: Dunlavey, "Building Better Applications: a Theory of Efficient Software Development" [[International Thomson Publishing]] ISBN 0-442-01740-5, 1994. In this book the approach taken is to capture requirements in the user's terms, and then to try to create an implementation language as isomorphic as possible to the user's descriptions, so that the mapping between requirements and implementation is as direct as possible. A measure of the closeness of this isomorphism is the "redundancy" of the language, defined as the number of editing operations needed to implement a stand-alone change in requirements. It is not assumed a-priori what is the best language for implementing the new language. Rather an analysis of the information flows - what information is acquired, what its structure is, when it is acquired, from whom, and what is done with it, results in options from which the developer can choose. See [[Linguistic Method]].
The [[Racket programming language]] and [[RascalMPL]] were designed to support language-oriented programming from the ground up.<ref name=Felleisen2018 /> Other [[language workbench]]<ref name="killerapp">{{cite web |url= http://martinfowler.com/articles/languageWorkbench.html |title=Language Workbenches: The Killer-App for Domain Specific Languages? |last1=Fowler |first1=Martin |date=12 June 2005 |access-date=14 April 2015}}</ref> tools such as [[JetBrains MPS]], [[Kermeta]], or [[Xtext]] provide the tools to design and implement DSLs and language-oriented programming.<ref name=Erdweg>{{cite book |chapter-url= https://ir.cwi.nl/pub/21863 |chapter=The State of the Art in Language Workbenches |last1=Erdweg |first1=Sebastian |title=Software Language Engineering |series=Lecture Notes in Computer Science |date=2013 |volume=8225 |pages=197–217 |doi=10.1007/978-3-319-02654-1_11 |isbn=978-3-319-02653-4 |s2cid=5234848 |access-date=4 July 2023}}</ref>
