> Have you ever been forced to use COBOL?

per my comment below, all languages are DSLs. And COBOL was (is! surprisingly enough. COBOL.net is a real thing) great for what it was designed for: file processing. Anything else, and... eurgh.

But that'd be like complaining that a vice designed to be sold cheap to mugginses-in-a-shed to generate business-profit, fell apart in the hands of people trying to do professional high-pressure high-temperature work ;)
