2- to 4-page paper that includes the following:
Describe two historical events that you believe contributed most to the field of addictions.
Explain the contribution of each event to the contemporary field of addictions.
Explain why you chose each event as being one of the most significant.
Research two websites dedicated to some aspect of the field of addictions (see Learning Resources for ideas). Analyze 2–3 trends that emerged from your review.
Cite the sources you used following APA guidelines.Implementing a new language from scratch in turn permits a high degree of freedom, agility, and flexibility. In this case, some guidelines can be realized more easily than in the case of reuse. However, these advantages are not for free: designing concrete and abstract syntax, context conditions, and a type system are time- and cost-intensive task. To summarize, a decision whether to reuse existing languages or to implement a new one is one of the most important and critical decisions to be made.Another important point which was already mentioned in the introduction is that some of the presented guidelines have to be weighted according to the project settings, to the form of use, etc. One example is the expected size of the languages instances. Some DSLs serve as configuration lan- guages and thus, typical instances consist of a small amount of lines only. Other DSLs are used to describe complex sys- tems leading to huge instances. In the former case guidelines which target at compositionality or claim references between files (e.g., No. 19 and 25) have nearly no validity whereas in the latter example these guidelines are of high importance. However, not only the expected size of the instances can in- fluence the weight of guidelines. Another important aspect is the intended usage of the language. Sometimes DSLs are not executable; they are designed for documentation only. In these cases, the guideline which demands to avoid inef- ficient elements in the language (No. 13) is of course not meaningful. However, for languages which are translated into running code, this is of high importance.
