small (domain specific) languages

[Brad Knotwell]

Hello all--

I've often seen people reference using lisp for small, domain-specific
languages.

I was wondering if there was a www'd resource that gives an example of how
this would work. I'd prefer a small case study with example code if possible.

Thanks.

Paul Graham's "On Lisp" second half is more or less about this and he
provides several case studies (with code, naturally).
