A declarative Language for Rapid Business Development

TL;DR

ZoomBA is a declarative, embeddable, Turing complete language designed for rapid business development, system integration, and software validation, leveraging the Java ecosystem with concise scripting.

Contribution

It introduces ZoomBA, a new domain-specific language that simplifies business automation and system integration by exposing Java in a declarative manner.

Findings

ZoomBA scripts are smaller than Python or Scala for similar tasks.

ZoomBA effectively supports system integration and data manipulation.

ZoomBA is used in Bayestree for system integration and data purposes.

Abstract

The motivation for ZoomBA are domain specific languages (DSL) like VERILOG, VHDL, Spice. DSL for Software testing is not a new idea, many commercial tools like Silk Suite use them, while Selenese, the DSL for Selenium IDE [6] is open source. ZoomBA is a functionally motivated, embeddable, Turing Complete language. It's philosophy is to expose the existing Java echo system in a declarative fashion for the purpose of System Integration and software validation. By design ZoomBA script size is meagre compared to Python or even to Scala for business automation problems. Bayestree uses ZoomBA for system integration/adapter/data manipulation purposes.
