> it simplified the business logic aspect to such a degree that even non-devs were able to be productive with it
* bash (or any shell) -- Might seem odd to call it a DSL, but it certainly embodies the abbreviation.
* Matlab/R/etc.
* Excel (and even VB depending on usage) -- This even plays into "business logic"
You're probably more talking about something along the lines of Gherkin (Cucumber) though. While I've certainly seen it make devs unproductive, I don't know that I've even heard of it achieving the converse unless you loosen the criteria to meaninglessness.
Yeah, I actually was thinking Excel, and then was like "but that kind of depends on your definition of DSL", hence in part the question. A shell is an interesting thought of one. I don't know that I'd consider Matlab/R/etc given they're full on programming languages, just ones with a math-y slant.
