I don't think raganwald is right here, or rather he's only right about a subset of DSLs -- the subset of DSLs which attempt to map a specific domain to english.

I don't think raganwald is right here, or rather he's only right about a subset of DSLs -- the subset of DSLs which attempt to map a specific domain to english. I think most good DSLs eschew mapping domains to english in favour of mapping those domains to some new language designed to express information about that domain.
