DSLs Enable Reliable Use of LLMs

Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) provide a constrained interface and built-in validators that improve the reliability of code produced by large language models. The piece uses Tickloom—a DSL for distributed-system behavior—as an illustration of how a DSL can act as the source of truth and guide iterative design. It describes a two-phase process: shaping the design with LLMs and then implementing within a constrained DSL whose grammar and validator enforce correct usage.
