Explore how climate economics domain experts utilize an embedded Domain-Specific Language (eDSL) in this 12-minute conference talk from JuliaCon 2024. Delve into the findings of a contextual inquiry involving 9 participants using Mimi, an eDSL designed for climate change economics modeling. Discover five key themes identified through thematic analysis, including the significant impact of eDSL-host language interaction on user experience and the preference for domain-specific communities and code templates over host language resources. Gain insights into design considerations for future eDSLs and potential directions for DSL usability research, all while examining the growing importance of programming tools in specialized research domains.
