Language oriented programming is a style of programming in which, rather than solving problems in general-purpose programming languages, the programmer creates one or more domain-specific programming languages for the problem first and solves the problem in those languages. This concept is described in details in the article by Sergey Dmitriev entitled Language Oriented Programming: The Next Programming Paradigm.

One of existing implementations of this concept is Meta-Programming System by JetBrains.
