Because when they are successful they'll stop being "Specific". It's own success conspires against its nature. Look at the history of Lua: it began as a language for config files, similar to makefiles, config.ini, xml or json. But it solved this "problem" so well that people wanted it to become more powerful. And Lua did it without compromising too much it's simplicity. Then it stopped being just a config language. Same goes with JavaScript: in the beginning it was just for small scripts on Webpages, today is much more than that. People will want power and versatility in a language. And they'll find that in Python, JavaScript, R or Lua. They'll not find it in a DSL. |
