As I'm getting older I feel the need to make the code as readable as possible [1] to a point where non-programmers would be able to read it, especially in complex business rules enviroments (ex: finance, insurance, health, etc).
The quote "the limits of my language are the limits of my world" [2] shows when we try expressing these business rules in high-level programing languages like C, C#, Javascript. There are (a significant) parts of my code where I wish to not be limited by the syntax of the language.
DSLs helps, but usually takes a disproportionate effort to implement.
Would be great see more natural languages embedded on our day to day programing language.
