I'll make the mandatory comment about how this is a case typically better served by a good library than a DSL.

This language is very niche, it will never get good support, tooling, doc, and maintenance.

I know making languages are fun, but unless fun is the main goal and adoption is not, craft a good lib with a clean and simple API.

Adopting this DSL would not be reasonable on the long run.

Comments like these are absolutely useless and contribute nothing to the conversation at all. There are benefits making a language, and people's goal doesn't always have to be "get as many people to use it as possible."
