DSL feature reference — suites, setup, benchmarks, fixtures, and globalSetup

The poly-bench DSL provides a declarative way to define cross-language benchmarks. This section is a focused reference for each main feature. For complete syntax, see the DSL Reference. For practical usage and examples, see the Charting, Fixtures, and Anvil guides.

Each feature has its own page with syntax, examples, and gotchas. For complete syntax, see the DSL Reference.
