The core developers are making a big deal out of being able to have DSL's as string literals and process them at compile time.

Well, you can also generate the structs and specific serialization code. And depending on how advanced your dsl you can also auto generate database migration code. There are propably tons of other stuff you can do with it.
All in all much better than extending the language.
