And the hits just keep on comin'

The greatest thing about being a programmer is the relative youth of the field. There is always something new coming down the bend that last week was beyond your imagination and in two years will be a part of your daily routine.

This time around the new hotness was brought to light reading an article by Sergey Dmitriev of JetBrains on Language Oriented Programming. I spent two hours composing a scathing retort against the it, decided to do a little more research on the subject before opening my big fat mouth, and ended up blown away his forward thinking after looking at Jack Greenfield's work on Software Factories.

With Software Factories a.k.a Language Oriented Programming a.k.a. Domain Specific Languages, I have a new third conceptual approach to my craft in as many years. It’s like having a girlfriend who likes to dress up in fun little outfits, and although it may not have the same warm and tingly effect, it is very exciting indeed.
