Abstract
Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) are optimized for developing applications in a particular domain. JavaFX is such a DSL for creating rich graphical user interfaces.One method to create a DSL is to implement it in an existing language. This offers the advantage that existing users of the language do not need to learn a new language to work in the DSL. Scala and Groovy are two upcoming Java based languages which boast a feature set that can be used to extend existing languages and facilitate DSL creation. In this project my goal was to evaluate the ability of Scala and Groovy to be DSL hosts. To this end, I implemented my own JavaFX like DSLs in Scala and Groovy and assessed their capability for constructing a DSL.
