Reminds me of the early 00s where everyone and their son were making unmaintainable DSLs in XML

  People still make them. Because, you know, "everyone can use them" and they are "simple". In reality, only software developers are able to do anything with such a crap DSL and it takes a lot more effort and workarounds to get anything done vs a sane programming language.

    Even if only the developers can use a DSL, that doesn't not mean DSLs don't have a place as a solution and that a generic programming language is always preferable. In complex enough domains DSLs can be key to tackle that complexity and they can take many forms.
