I know quite a few languages, frameworks, what have you and if you can't see the benefits of not adding another damn thing for people to learn on to the pile, then I have no idea how you've missed a lesson that up to this point, it seemed every engineer I'd met has learned.

Not having to specify the mapping between business objects and a SQL database is massive value on it's own. Having not only the ability to avoid doing that, but upon making changes to your objects, being able to migrate the database easily is frankly amazing.

I guess we have met different subsets of engineers :)

I wish people were more open to learning more languages. A good DSL can be amazingly expressive. But you are correct in pointing out that gluing languages together is a pain, and it's a good reminder. Lesson learned ;)
