Designing a Custom Query Language for Non-Technical Analysts (opens in new tab)

I recently had the pleasure of designing and implementing a custom query language1, along with an integrated execution environment. It was my first time doing anything like this, and it became a passion project I dedicated many nights and weekends to. I learned more working on this side project on and off over the course of about 18 months than I did at my day job in the past eight years. More generally known as a domain-specific language, or DSL. ↩
