But a DSL? Some people are easy to please. ;-) When I hear DSL which is business user friendly I think of DSLs as used in rule engines (this is a Drools example) when There is a Driver - age is between 18 and 24 years old - has had more than 1 prior claims then Reject Policy with explanation : 'No accidents allowed if in marginal age group' It’s fairly readable code which is always a good idea.

Reject Policy with explanation : ‘No accidents allowed if in marginal age group’
