Ok, this is one of the few restrictions - builtin types. Yeah. Have
something more convincing ?

Yes, Ruby is not bad at *embedded* DSLs. Nor are Lisp and Python and
Smalltalk and a few others too. Now embedded DSLs all have the same
limitation: they are just a specialisation of an existing
general-purpose language - so you have to deal with the host language's
syntax. Care to write an external DSL in Ruby ?
