Matt Mower feels that Lisp is too crufty for domain specific languages, while Ben Hyde is reminiscing for the days when he could use Lisp to make domain specific languages.
Ben's post points to Rainer Joswig's 15 minute screencast wherein Joswig constructs a domain specific language using Lisp. I suggest using the bittorrent file. I had already downloaded the file via http (took almost a day), but Ben's post promoted the movie to the top of my queue. Watch the movie and decide for yourself.
Check out Logix, created by a person who felt Lisp is too hard to create DSLs. This one is based on Python, and compiles the DSL to Python byte codes.
From the homepage:
"Logix is like Lisp with extensible syntax. Or, Logix is Python with syntax extension, expression based syntax, and a powerful macro system."

There's also Rebol, which just saw a new release in View 1.3. The executable is less than a meg, and you get lots of functionality, including easy gui creation. It is so overlooked that it is criminal.

Python is very good for doing Doman Specific Languages. Once you understand the imputil module DSLs in python are easy.
