Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) can contribute to increment productivity, while reducing the required maintenance and programming expertise. We hypothesize that Software Languages Engineering (SLE) developers consistently skip, or relax, Language Evaluation. Based on the experience of engineering other types of software products, we assume that this may potentially lead to the deployment of in...

Prior to joining IEEE Software, I was editor in chief of another academic journal for almost 10 years. Readers would often suggest I publish more on this or that topic. Unfortunately, because the topics we published were what...
