The author describes DSLs and the concept of a compiler. Some people might think of AI and LISP-like "programs that write even more intelligent programs", but that's not what compilers do. They only translate.
Having said that,

Obviously nobody writes a compiler for a mini problem which can solved with some scripting language instead. That's a waste of time.
I wasted my time so many times when I wanted to invent a fancy new language. It can be na exercise but frequently doesn't get someone closer to getting the actual work done.
