This is why Lisp programmers call "DSLs" libraries. ("And you should too, kids!")

To authors of DSLs for their special hardware or daemon or whatever -- I don't want to learn your retarded homegrown programming language. Give me a library for a language I already know. (Specific gripe -- lighttpd config files. It's not quite Lisp, it's not quite Perl... It's USELESS. Instead of doing what I want, I have to work around the author's idea of a programming language. Ick.)
