Congrats for the presentation. It is a good introduction to DSL creation challenges.
Did you mean UML instead of GML on second slide?

In fact, by GML I mean General Modeling Languages in contrast with DSLs which are domain-specific. But sure, nowadays GML is basically a synonym of UML
Hi Jordi,
while reading this blog I remembered this paper:
Bari, A., et al., Quality in use of domain-specific languages: a case study, in Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Evaluation and usability of programming languages and tools2011, ACM: Portland, Oregon, USA. p. 65-72.
It’s interesting how HCI appears such as an interesting option in the Quality of DSL’s =)
Keep in touch!
