well, you can:
- switch to immutable data structures and build project incrementally
- use discrimiated union for defining duration
- add some auxiliary types for dummy arguments to make dsl more robust
with these changes your sample can be rewritten into something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83
open System
type Task = {
Name : string
Duration : string
}
type Resource = {
Name : string
Position : string
Rate : int
}
type Group = {
Name : string
Person : Resource

}
type Project = {

type StartsWith = | Literal
type IsA = | Literal

let starts = StartsWith.Literal
let isa = IsA.Literal
let takes = Takes.Literal
let with_rate = WithRate.Literal
let done_by = DoneBy.Literal
let project name (_ : StartsWith) startDate = {

}
let resource name (_ : IsA) position (_ : WithRate) rate (p : Project) =
let resource = {Name = name; Position = position; Rate = rate}
{ p with Resources = resource::p.Resources }
let group name (_ : DoneBy) resourceName tasks (project : Project) =
let person = project.Resources |> List.find (fun r -> r.Name = resourceName)
let group = {Name = name; Person = person; Tasks = tasks}
{ project with Groups = group::project.Groups }
let task name (_ : Takes) count duration =
let durationText =
match duration with
| Hour -> sprintf "%dh" count

let myProject =
project "F# DSL Article" starts "01/01/2009"
|> resource "Dmitri" isa "Writer" with_rate 140
|> resource "Computer" isa "Dumb Machine" with_rate 0
|> group "DSL Popularization" done_by "Dmitri" [
task "Create basic estimation DSL" takes 1 Day
task "Write article" takes 1 Day
task "Post on CP and wait for comments" takes 1 Week
]
|> group "Infrastructure Support" done_by "Computer" [
task "Provide VS2010 and MS Project" takes 1 Day
task "Download and deploy TypograFix" takes 1 Day
task "Sit idly while owner waits for comments" takes 1 Week
]
printfn "%A" myProjectWell, almost like I want it to be, but the DSL now contains a lot of "garbage" like those "|>" and "[]"... Previous syntax was much more clear for "dummies"
looks like your original syntax relies on the order and mutability to link objects created later back to things created earlier.
You may be able to make the |>, [] being implicit using computation expression along the line of:
project_def {
}
and play around the .Combine(...) builder member function
I'm total noob at F# :) Going to learn computation expressions :)

This is some kind of DSL definition. I'm confused with a lof "mutable", I there a proper way of rewriting this?
File attached, as I cannot properly post the code here...
