Yes, I sort of wondered whether we were going full Greenspun here. We haven't added many embedded languages into our embedded language lately.
The usual DSL worthiness criteria:
- more expressive than plain code for the domain
- potential for significantly better performance
- better error-checking, statically or dynamically
- structured editing
etc, don't really seem to be met here but I'm not deeply familiar with the problem and perhaps the author could make a better case for it.
