That's a bit too cheer-leady of C, and stretches the definition of DSL way too much. Ruby didn't suddenly become a Java DSL when it was ported to the JVM, neither did Perl become a Haskell DSL when Pugs was written. Let's give credit where it's due, but really C could have been Ada in any of those examples and the results would have been about the same (especially in PHP's case).
