>> Over the years we have been constructing a collection of Embedded Domain Specific Languages for describing compilers which are assembled from fragments which can be compiled individuallu. In this way one can gradually ``grow a langauge'' in a large number of small steps. The technique replaces things like macro extensions or Template Haskell; it has become feasable to just extend the language at hand by providing  extra modules. The nice thing is that existing code does not have to be adapted, nor has to be available nor has to be recompiled.
