SummaryArticle argues that Domain-Specific Languages and strong abstractions constrain LLM code generation to be more reliable and reviewable. Uses Tickloom, a DSL for distributed systems, to show iterative DSL-building with an LLM and natural-language use of the resulting DSL.
Why it mattersConcrete pattern for making LLM output trustworthy: lean on small, expressive DSLs as a shared source of truth rather than free-form prompt-to-code.
