I have a friend who is struggling to develop a DSL, and I've been giving him advice. However, I'm getting a bit tired of basically teaching him how to design a language, so I started to point him to Essentials of Programming Languages.
After reviewing the TOC, though, I'm not convinced it's the right book to hand him. Are there any recommendations as for a reference for designing a language? I'd leaning toward Watt's Programming Language Syntax and Semantics, except that he's designing a declarative language, so perhaps Watt's Concepts and Paradigms book would be a better choice?
Thanks, Steven
