I'm surprised there wasn't more of a mention of Racket except for a brief line about why language oriented programming might've been the reason Lisps don't get widely adopted and I'm similarly surprised with the lack of Racketeers in the comments.
I haven't really explored the "language oriented" aspect of Racket yet (I'm just starting my foray into with the Little Schemer books), but the "tower of Babel" effect does seem real. I somewhat (very weakly!) suspect language oriented design works passably if the DSL that's designed is not Turing complete, but that's more of just a hunch...
