BTW, out here in the real world where I evaluate tech companies for major investments by private equity firms, I have personally worked on a deal that ended with a $100M investment in a company with a Common Lisp DSL in their modelling engine under the hood. They aren't publicizing this fact, but it happens more than one would think, a lot of tech companies are told by investors not to share their secret sauce.
I've done 50+ diligences in the last two years, ranging from $2M to $1.5B transactions. Only two had embedded DSLs, one in lisp and one in their own language that wrote an interpreter for in C. I don't think Python gets embedded much these days to be honest, I've done it and the experience was not pleasant compared to using S7. Though I do know Lua gets used in the game industry.
