Several months have passed since I started this thread. I have finally decided to write a blog series about this experiment. There are seven posts planned, the first four of which are already published: General introduction Step 1: execution of a hand-written Racket example Step 2: code generation using macros Step 3: name resolution In Step 3, you will find a reference to the paper "Macros for Domain-Specific Languages" by Michael Ballantyne, Alexis King and Matthias Felleisen. In fact, the paper answers several questions that were raised in this discussion thread. It also addresses a concern that I had not considered at all, which is the possibility to create macro-extensible DSLs. Though I used only a tiny part of their ideas, I'd like to thank Michael and Matthias for the friendly and enlightening conversation we had in May.
