ABSTRACT
Nowadays, designing a domain-specific language is easier than ever before. Nevertheless, finding the right balance concerning the configurability of concepts represented by language elements is a complicated design task. With this paper we provide four patterns that discuss different kinds of configurability that can also be combined. In the end, we show the application of these patterns using an example we had to deal with in our research project.

When and how to develop domain-specific languages
Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are languages tailored to a specific application domain. They offer substantial gains in expressiveness and ease of use compared with general-purpose programming languages in their domain of application. DSL development ...
