One of my long-standing interests is in mini-languages, particularly declarative languages. I'm always looking out for examples where a declarative language is used to represent some idea or concept that is not easily written in an imperative language. Examples are the behaviors of particle systems, kinematic constraints, formalized grammars, logical inferencing systems, query languages, and so on. In other words, you are using a language to describe a complex set of relationships, but you aren't giving specific commands to execute in a specific order.
