This practical book presents techniques that you can apply to everyday work. At first, the programming community resisted the use of computers for program development, perhaps for the same hard-wired reasons some guys don't ask for directions when they're lost. First, some clear demarcation about what this book isn't: if you want a book with a really strong theoretical background in compiler design, this isn't it. You wouldn't build your whole system with a DSL, but, like the 5ESS switch, you could use it to code a critical function in a way that is easier to understand and maintain and, therefore, ensure its quality. I keep hearing that C++11 makes things so much easier now and that C++11 has fixed many of the problems of C++98. Summary: Very good for what it does. Functional languages are killer at creating DSLs. One interesting example NET CLR (and other platforms). So if he says that about the language, I am sure you can draw your own conclusions.
