Shows a working approach using MPS to build external DSLs and a rich editor that recognizes dates, currency and formulas so configuration looks like a smart spreadsheet and offers code insight. Claims DSLs reduce repetition and improve abstraction, take longer to write but are more readable than XML. Recommends a polyglot stack: Java/Scala bottom, dynamic layer like Groovy/JRuby in the middle, DSLs on top, practical and evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
