I have created a DSL for supply chain optimization over the last 10 years[1], and gave a talk about it back in 2017[2] that summarizes the main reasons why we did this over the alternatives (such as using Python).

We measure success along a few indicators:

- Ease of deployment of an optimization model to production

- Training time required before a new employee (with a background in Supply Chain, but no software development experience) is proficient enough to contribute new code and edit existing code.

- Cost of running all the execution infrastructure

- Frequency of defects caused by running out of memory

- Frequency of package version upgrades that require manual intervention

- Frequency of unsuccessful attempts at auto-completion and other Language Server Protocol interactions
