A lot of people would take issue with that definition.  But ignoring
that, it puzzles me why you feel that introducing domain-specific
syntax *helps* with code readability.  At least with the
traditional system of fixed language syntax and domain-specific
APIs you don't have to be constantly on the lookout for new
syntax gotchas.
