Hi, so we're going back and forth on titles/subtitles for the new book
on implementing DSLs and other languages. Now, we're "Language Design
Patterns", where Design is an adjective of Patterns; Language is not
an adj of Design. it's ambiguous though. Using Lang Impl Design
Patterns was too long and unwieldy. So, we added a subtitle about
"Techniques for implementing DSLs". Our marketing has been all about
impl DSLs but the book became much more general.
The confusion is that the current title can be seen as about lang
design. We could do Lang Impl Patterns, but Kent Beck has a Impl
Patterns book now that is totally different concept.
Publisher wants DSL in there somewhere. Any ideas about title/subtitle?
