Martin Fowler on DSLs...
I've always used the analogy of creating a DSL to help think about building up a design - developing classes and methods with an eye to making them be a DSL. As much as possible I do this within the language I'm using, but if I can't I'm very ready to switch to code generation. At ThoughtWorks we've used code generation and similar techniques widely on our larger systems. The point at which I pull the separate language DSL lever is clearly different between languages. I never really felt the need in Smalltalk to use a separate language, while it's quite common in C++/Java/C#.
