A good domain-specific language is much easier to read than a general-purpose language that forces you to continually restate the basics of the problem. But defining and then learning that DSL are time investments. If you find yourself working in a tarpit that rewrites everything every year or two, they can’t trust that the investment will get a chance to pay off before they throw it away. But I at least want to master the most powerful general-purpose language they’ll let me use, because that investment will keep paying off until I find one that’s better still.
