   1 An \gls{EDSL} is a language embedded in a host language. \glspl{EDSL} can have
   2 one or more backends or views. Commonly used views are pretty printing,
   3 compiling, simulating, verifying and proving the program.  There are several
   4 techniques available for creating \glspl{EDSL}. They all have their own
   5 advantages and disadvantages in terms of extendability, typedness and view
   6 support. In the following subsections each of the main techniques are briefly
   7 explained.
