I think DSLs are going to radically change the way that people code. DSLs potentially provide the meta-prgramming ccapabilities of LISP with the transparency and idiot-proofing of a language like Java. We may even see a hierarchy of software engineeringh develop, with one type of hihg-level coder deveoping DSLs and others able to use these languages easily within their own areas of expertise.

I think part of his point is that this is the kind of thing /.ers dig as the way out of poverty, while ignoring our own complicity in the structures that perpetuate it.
