I'm not sure. Ruby is getting more and more mainstream and can be used
to build DSLs just fine. Take a look at RSpec for example. It is no
Lisp, sure, but useful for some DSLs anyway.

C# does support operator overloading and thats IMHO a good thing after
all. Calling strange methods like ``equals`` in Java goes on my nerves
when there are much nicer solutions available.
