I've come to hate DSLs. With rare exception, almost every DSL has become a brittle subset of the parent language.

Sometimes you want a specific limited subset of the parent language, especially when you don't want to expose a huge possibility space to non technical users. Exposing only a limited subset can also be helpful to sandbox for security reasons.
