Having worked with domain experts I concur on the difficult time they have expressing the rules of their domains.

Once I built a little domain-specific language for them, that was tested against old jobs to see if they contradicted the past; it was a nifty project and since then I am convinced that DSLs are underrated as a way to encode expertise.

Can you give an example (even if contrived) of how that would have looked ? I’m very curious !
