I don’t think this is a linear order. It’s more like a landscape with dots and
connections and hyper-edges and such. In particular,
— the PLAI course at Brown belongs into the “compiler” equivalence class,
— a PhD does not a good DSL designer or expert consultant (on this topic) make,
and
— the first bucket is way too coarse (some programmers have good “native” taste
for DSLs, others should never ever program).
And I understood that you were asking about experts who can do DSL x Domain
stuff. But NVD’s remark and my long-time observation of where PL research is
going triggered my rant. Sorry
