How about using an existing language, like Python? You can make a really great DSL using Python, and then people have access to all the other Python language features that they already know, and the stdlib that they already know, and 3rd-party modules they already know..

I could, if I knew Python pretty well :) But I've done it in the way I needed it to be done. I wanted to have an isolated and safe environment that would allow me to easily scrape the web without dealing with infrastructural code.

Yup, I get it, I want that too, but I don't want to learn another language just to do that :/
