Microsoft DSL Tools Supprise
Well in my last post I committed to creating a fake programming language with the MS DSL tools. It turns out I was way off on what they did. I was thinking that they were going to be like Lex and Yacc but .Nety and integrated with VS. but instead it is a tool kit for designing graphical languages. Who knew? Well I guess I will have to find a new tool to create my fake language in.

Interview Idea
A coworker of mine was telling me about a company that always gave you an interview question in a language you didn't know. It seems like a pretty good idea. Its a nice way to level the playing field and see how good the candidate is at learning. I was thinking of taking it to the next level and coding up a DSL to give interview questions in. I am just a little worried that it might leave the candidate with a bad impression. Any thoughts?
I've been meaning to play around with teh DSL tools in Vs for a while now. This will give me a good opertunity.
