Alan Kay describes OOP as defining interactions with/between values via mini languages/algebras. In a language like Smalltalk (using whitespace and mixfix syntax) this very much feels like crafting a lightweight/hosted DSL. Other languages require a lot more squinting, to get past the host language's punctuation and ceremony. For example, compare something like the following: canvas drawA: circle at: topLeft in: red. canvas.draw(circle, at=topLeft, in=red);
