Embedded DSLs have much lower learning overhead, since they are just embedded in the language you are already using. Eg in Haskell, they are still valid Haskell programs. So they eg inherit the control structures from the host language, and most of the tooling in your editor, like 'jump to definition' also still works. See http://wiki.haskell.org/Embedded_domain_specific_language Because the overheads are lower, the payoff doesn't have to be as high to make it worthwhile. (However, there's still some overhead, otherwise you wouldn't really label them as embedded-DSLs.) |

But even then. I was never really able to get into Observable because although it looks like JavaScript, there are kind of hidden objects and methods available to you that I found weirdly hard to discover.
