DSLs Enable Reliable Use of LLMs
LLMs generate code incredibly fast, but to ensure they generate
exactly what is intended, they need clear boundaries. Abstractions and
Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) provide a strong harness that guides LLMs
right from the start. Unmesh Joshi describes how the example
of Tickloom - a domain model and DSL for illustrating distributed system
behavior - shows how we can use an LLM as a partner to iteratively build a
DSL and as a natural language interface to use it. Such a DSL can act as
the key source of truth for software systems in the world of LLMs.
