React and RN let users define views with JSX that are natively implemented. Not sure if that counts as a DSL, but it's JS extended to allow embedded HTML with custom tags, so it's not really a new thing to learn. Part of what made React popular was how vanilla it felt compared to other things that defined whole new languages or heavy-handed frameworks. And now that it exists, it doesn't need to be reinvented.

At work, we had two painful DSLs for monitoring queries. Our team changed monitoring systems entirely just to use SQL instead.
