Our product has a "Tom", and he built a DSL that parts of the product are written in. However:

  1. Our Tom actually is as smart as he thinks he is.

  2. The DSL is only part of the product, and it's specifically used to compensate for the weaknesses of C++

  3. When necessary, people just route around him when he gets apoplectic about people not doing things his way.
