DSLs - a stupid abstraction of an abstraction

DSLs = Domain Specific Languages. A terrible, misleading buzzword, abused by several vendors.

It implies that if only we could invent a new miracle language for any given problem domain, then we could talk about it (and instruct our computers to deal with it) in a way that gives complete power over that domain.

Abacadabra. Open Sesame. If only I knew the magic words...
