ABSTRACT
In this paper, we offer an alternative vision for domain driven development (3D). Our approach is model driven and emphasizes the use of generic and specific domain oriented programming (DOP) languages. DOP uses strong specific languages, which directly incorporate domain abstractions, to allow knowledgeable end users to succinctly express their needs in the form of an application computation. Most domain driven development (3D) approaches and techniques are targeted at professional software engineers and computer scientists. We argue that DOP offers a promising alternative. Specifically we are focused on empowering application developers who have extensive domain knowledge as well as sound foundations in their professions, but may not be formally trained in computer science.We provide a brief survey of DOP experiences, which show that many of the best practices such as patterns, refactoring, and pair programming are naturally and ideally practiced in a Model Driven Development (MDD) setting. We compare and contrast our DOP with other popular approaches, most of which are deeply rooted in the OO community.Finally we highlight challenges and opportunities in the design and implementation of such languages.
