This month I will be reviewing Slither, an open source DSL I wrote in Ruby for parsing and building fixed-width text files. I’ll walk through the use case for the project and demo it’s use. I also plan to talk about my approach to building and testing the DSL.

In the meantime, feel free to fork or clone the project on Github and take a look. I’d love for you guys to come with questions, suggestions and even patches. I’m looking forward to it.
