An EDSL and a domain-specific API are not the same thing. For example, one typically expects the description of a program's logic and its execution to be separate in a DSL (i.e. building up expressions from the syntax made available in the EDSL and then later applying an interpreter (possibly multiple interpreters) to these expressions) while this is not generally true for domain-specific APIs.
