# Description
**ELLIPTIc**, The ExtensibLe LIbrary for Physical simulaTIons, is a library / framework for creating reusable and extensible
[Domain Specific Languages (DSL)](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/DomainSpecificLanguage.html) for scientific purposes.

ELLIPTIc's workflow is as follows:

* An ELLIPTIc DSL contract is created to define how the DSL syntax looks like. This DSL contract defines the operations
that will be available when using the DSL.
* A DSL implementation is built based on the DSL contract. The DSL implementation tells ELLIPTIc how to generate the
corresponding Cython code.
* When using ELLIPTIc-based DSLs, a tree-like intermediate representation is built.
* This intermediate representation is used together with the DSL implementation to generate Cython code.

# DSL Syntax

ELLIPTIc-based DSLs use a [Fluent Interface](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/FluentInterface.html) syntax. This allows
for elegant development of algorithms.

Below is an example of how using an ELLIPTIc-based DSL to iterate in a unstructured mesh would look like:

```python
dsl = DSL(...)  # Instatiating a DSL object


with dsl.root() as root:
    all_ents = root.Entities(dim=3).Adjacencies(bridge_dim=2, to_dim=3)  # Operation chaining
    internal_ents = all_ents.Where(boundary=False)  # Continuing an operation chain
    boundary_ents = all_ents.Where(boundary=True)  # Operation branching

    perm_ents = internal_ents.GetField(name="permeability")
    dirichlet = boundary_ents.GetField(name="dirichlet")
    neumann = boundary_ents.GetField(name="neumann")

dsl.get_built_module().run()  # Run the generated Cython code
```

It is also possible to export the intermediate representation to a image file, allowing for visual debugging:
