Gain an accelerated introduction to domain-specific languages in R including coverage of
regular expressions. This compact in-depth book shows you how DSLs are programming languages
specialized for a particular purpose as opposed to general purpose programming languages.
Along the way you'll learn to specify tasks you want to do in a precise way and achieve
programming goals within a domain-specific context. Domain-Specific Languages in R includes
examples of DSLs including large data sets or matrix multiplication pattern matching DSLs for
application in computer vision and DSLs for continuous time Markov chains and their
applications in data science. After reading and using this book you'll understand how to write
DSLs in R and have skills you can extrapolate to other programming languages. What You'll Learn
Program with domain-specific languages using R Discover the components of DSLs Carry out large
matrix expressions and multiplications Implement metaprogramming with DSLs Parse and manipulate
expressions Who This Book Is For Those with prior programming experience. R knowledge is
helpful but not required.
