An EDSL for KDB/Q: Rationale, Techniques and Lessons Learned
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
During this talk, you will explore the experience gained building an EDSL for the KDB/Q database language at Standard Chartered. You will start with their rationale for choosing such an approach; then review techniques such as Higher-order abstract syntax (HOAS), recursion schemes and embedding Algebraic Datatypes. Finally, you will reflect on the success of the project and discuss the lessons learned.
