Dialecting

Dialects are domain specific sub-languages of a programming language or a data exchange language. (See also Grammar-oriented programming, Language oriented programming, Reflection and Metaprogramming.) A language supporting this paradigm encourages users to create new dialects for specific problematic domains.
