First of all let me highlight that Murano DSL was much inspired by TOSCA. We carefully read this standard before our movement to Murano DSL. TOSCA standard has a lot f of very well designed concepts and ideas which we reused in Murano. There is one obvious draw back of TOSCA - very heavy and verbose XML based syntax. Taking into account that OpenStack itself is clearly moving from XML based representations, it will be strange to bring this huge XML monster back on a higher level. Frankly, the current Murano workflows language is XML based and it is quite painful to write a workflows without any additional instrument like IDE.
It so happens that the OASIS's TOSCA technical committee are working as we speak on a "TOSCA Simple Profile" that will hopefully make things easier to use and includes a YAML representation (the latter is great IMHO, but the key to being able to do it is the former). Work is still at a relatively early stage and in my experience they are very much open to input from implementers.
I would strongly encourage you to get involved in this effort (by joining the TOSCA TC), and also to architect Murano in such a way that it can accept input in multiple formats (this is something we are making good progress toward in Heat). Ideally the DSL format for Murano+Heat should be a trivial translation away from the relevant parts of the YAML representation of TOSCA Simple Profile.
