What about Unreal Blueprints, Dynamo BIM? Visual GUI doesn't make them less DSLish.

  I think these are examples of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language, while https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language#Examples https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language#Examp... are purely text-based.

    Don't confuse a deficiency of a wikipedia article for the definition of that thing.

      So where should I look up the definition of a DSL?

        Let's take the Wikipedia definition, not the examples list: > A domain-specific language (DSL) is a computer language specialized to a particular application domain. where computer language links to a list of things that includes "programming languages", which visual programming languages are a part of. Other sections of the article also mention some graphical examples, e.g. UML. (which isn't a programming language, but a modeling language, also used sometimes as an input to software)
