Hi Kashyap, 

I'm not sure what you mean - in general you need to have some general
purpose language to glue everything together.  Our use of DSLs is very
pragmatic: we generally use one when we think there's a chance it will
make our like easier.  There is a chance some will converge (both
Mackerel and Hamlet need to specify physical data layout, for
example), but we'll always have C.
