  abstract: "Using a problem domain motivated by Bentley's \"Little Languages\" column [1], this paper explores the use of the Ruby programming language's flexible syntax, dynamic nature, and reflexive metaprogramming facilities to implement an internal domain-specific language (DSL) for surveys.   	 Jon Bentley, Programming pearls: little languages, Communications of the ACM, v.29 n.8, p.711-721, Aug. 1986  [doi>10.1145/6424.315691] "
