There are at least 13.4 billion devices connected to the internet at the time of writing \citep{transforma_insights_current_2023}.
Each of these devices sense, act, or otherwise, interact with people, computers, and the environment.
-Despite their immense diversity, they are all computers and they they all require software to operate.
+Despite their immense diversity, they are all computers and they all require software to operate.
An increasing number of these connected devices are so-called edge devices that operate in the \gls{IOT}.
Edge devices are the leaves of the \gls{IOT} systems.
They perform the interaction with the physical world.
It is not uncommon for edge devices to be physically embedded in the fabric itself.
-Typically they reside in hard-to-reach places such as light bulbs, clothing, smart electricity meters, buildings, or even farm animals.
+Typically, they reside in hard-to-reach places such as light bulbs, clothing, smart electricity meters, buildings, or even farm animals.
The majority of edge devices are powered by microcontrollers.
Microcontrollers are equipped with a lot of connectivity for integrating peripherals such as sensors and actuators.
The connectivity makes them very suitable to interact with their surroundings.

This dissertation consists of three episodes.
\Cref{prt:dsl} is a paper-based---otherwise known as cumulative---episode containing chapters that provide insight in advanced \gls{DSL} embedding techniques for \gls{FP} languages.
-The chapters can be read independently from each other.
+The chapters can be read independently of each other.
\Cref{prt:top} is a monograph showing \gls{MTASK}, a \gls{TOP} \gls{DSL} for the \gls{IOT}.
Hence, the chapters in this episode are best read in order.
It introduces \gls{IOT} edge device programming, shows the complete \gls{MTASK} language, provides details on how \gls{MTASK} is integrated with \gls{ITASK}, shows how the byte code compiler is implemented, presents a guide for green computing with \gls{MTASK}, and ends with a conclusion and overview of future and related work.
Firstly, edge devices can be seen as simple resources, thus accessed through \glspl{SDS}.
The second view is that edge devices contain miniature \gls{TOP} systems in itself.
The individual components in the miniature systems, the tasks, the \glspl{SDS}, are, in the eventual execution, connected to the main system.

\subsection{The iTask system}
The concept of \gls{TOP} originated from the \gls{ITASK} framework, a declarative language and \gls{TOP} engine for defining interactive multi-user distributed web applications.
The \gls{ITASK} system is implemented as an \gls{EDSL} in the programming language \gls{CLEAN}\footnote{\Cref{chp:clean_for_haskell_programmers} contains a guide for \gls{CLEAN} tailored to \gls{HASKELL} programmers.} \citep{plasmeijer_itasks:_2007,plasmeijer_task-oriented_2012}.
-It has been under development for over fifteen years and has proven itself through use in industry for some time now as well \citep{top_software_viia_2023}.
+It has been under development for over fifteen years and has proven itself through use in industry for some time now as well.
+For example, it is the main language of VIIA, an advanced application for monitoring coasts \citep{top_software_viia_2023}.
From the structural properties of the data types and the current status of the work to be done, the entire \gls{UI} is automatically generated.
Browsers are powering \gls{ITASK}'s presentation layer.
The framework is built on top of standard web techniques such as JavaScript, HTML, and {CSS}.
The \gls{MTASK} device is connected using \cleaninline{withDevice} at \cref{lst:intro_withdevice}.
Once connected, the \cleaninline{intBlink} task is sent to the device (\cref{lst:intro_liftmtask}) and, in parallel, a web editor is shown that updates the value of the interval \gls{SDS} (\cref{lst:intro_editor,fig:intro_blink_int}).
To allow terminating of the task, the \gls{ITASK} task ends with a sequential operation that returns a constant value when the button is pressed, making the task stable.

\subsection{\Fullref{prt:dsl}}
The \gls{MTASK} system is an \gls{EDSL} and during the development of it, several novel basal techniques for embedding \glspl{DSL} in \gls{FP} languages have been found.
This paper-based episode contains the following papers:
+\todo{papers met bibitem doen? of conferentie noemen.}
\begin{enumerate}
\item \emph{Deep Embedding with Class} \citep*{lubbers_deep_2022} is the basis for \cref{chp:classy_deep_embedding}.
It shows a novel deep embedding technique for \glspl{DSL} where the resulting language is extendible both in constructs and in interpretation just using type classes and existential data types.
\Cref{sec:classy_reprise} was added after publication and contains a (yet) unpublished extension of the embedding technique for reducing the required boilerplate at the cost of requiring some advanced type system extensions.
\item \emph{First-\kern-1ptClass Data Types in Shallow Embedded Domain-Specific Languages} \citep*{lubbers_first-class_2022}\label{enum:first-class} is the basis for \cref{chp:first-class_datatypes}.
It shows how to inherit data types from the host language in \glspl{EDSL} using metaprogramming by providing a proof-of-concept implementation using \gls{HASKELL}'s metaprogramming system: \glsxtrlong{TH}.
- The paper also serves as a gentle introduction to, and contains a thorough literature study on \glsxtrlong{TH}.
