This tutorial will look at the problem of implementing languages in Erlang on top of the Erlang system. Such languages can be anything from small DSL for coding a specific problem to a complete language which for some reason it is beneficial to run it natively inside Erlang. We will look at parsing languages, implementing a basic interpreter and then integrating that into an Erlang application. Finally we will discuss compiling our languages into Erlang. As an example we will use a small existing language. The topics we will look at here are quite common and apply to most languages and many of the solutions are also applicable to othere langauages and systems apart from Erlang.
