My latest posts on DSLs caused a bit of a stir around the blogosphere. Some of of the more constructive debates have been on wether a fluent interface is just a fluent interface or if it can be labeled as a DSL. I have a consultant's answer to this; it depends. I my opinion my posts on the planning DSL concerns a DSL, even if it technically is just a fluent interface. Scott Bellware has an argument that is hard to disagree with - "Whether fluent interface is a form of DSL or not, it's obviously a form of fluent interface.". Scott's contributions to the debate are much concerned about the confusion one might introduce by mixing the terms internal DSL and fluent interface.
