Several papers covering ways of implementing DSLs are discussed in the DSLAnnotatedBibliography. This page contains several
DSLBibliographyAdditions presenting implementation issues. Feel free to add your own pointers to other papers of interest (preferably with
summary / annotation)!

_Abstract:_ This paper presents \smgn, a grammar-based tool that provides
support for scanning, parsing, and automatic parse tree
construction. The parse tree can be easily navigated and manipulated
with a specific macro language while conveniently generating textual
output. \smgn{} is easy to learn---even for non-compiler
experts---and well suited for rapid prototyping of small
domain-specific languages. It is part of the \SUIF{} compiler
system, where it has been used for the development of the \Hoof{}
domain-specific language. Furthermore, \smgn{} was employed
successfully for the rapid prototyping of another domain-specific
language, called Bauhaus IMDL. We introduce \smgn{}, describe
experiences in using it for DSL construction and evaluate its
usefulness based on these experiences.
