Interesting article, I immediately had to think about terraform. The problem I'm having with specialized languages (even with SQL) is that it always creates additional interfaces and almost always creates ugly string formatting if you want to integrate (SQL) or ugly duplication (Terraform) if you keep it separate.

I like the idea of abstraction but in my mind it is very easy to have the power of a "little language" inside an all purpose language by using a package. E.g. SQLAlchemy or Pulumi as the alternative to the little languages of SQL and TF.
