Thank you! This is something I've encountered in every tutorial on language design. I've been trying to build a DSL for years, but I'm stuck because everything I read isn't suitable for my use case. Part of me wants to just say "fuck it, I'll learn how to build a GPL, then hopefully by the end of it I'll have enough on-hand knowledge to transfer over". But I really would rather not spend that much effort.
