      abstract = {Gain an accelerated introduction to domain-specific  languages in R, including coverage of regular expressions.  This compact, in-depth book shows you how DSLs are  programming languages specialized for a particular purpose,  as opposed to general purpose programming languages. Along  the way, you’ll learn to specify tasks you want to do in a  precise way and achieve programming goals within a  domain-specific context. Domain-Specific Languages in R  includes examples of DSLs including large data sets or  matrix multiplication; pattern matching DSLs for  application in computer vision; and DSLs for continuous  time Markov chains and their applications in data science.  After reading and using this book, you’ll understand how to  write DSLs in R and have skills you can extrapolate to  other programming languages.What You'll LearnProgram with  domain-specific languages using RDiscover the components of  DSLsCarry out large matrix expressions and  multiplications Implement metaprogramming with DSLsParse  and manipulate expressions Who This Book Is ForThose with  prior programming experience. R knowledge is helpful but  not required.},
