<p>Isn’t this just dunning kruger? Try and build something substantial for your gene science thing rather than some notebook script or CRUD app and see what complexity you run into.</p>

<p>Write a macro DSL in Clojure for it then throw it up as a library.<p>To get to a higher level of abstraction than the general purpose languages you have to get more specific, maybe someone just hasn’t done it yet for your use case.</p>

<p>Does SQL or regex as a language rot? I’d say the abstraction above using SQL or regex to implement it rots, because it’s not formalised as a language.<p>Does the implementation leak through things like JSON or a EBNF grammar? Performance can be a concern but the implementation doesn’t leak through the language unlike a library api. If you have access to the compiler you can adjust the implementation to get whatever performance you’d like without affecting the abstraction.<p>Edit: JSON is a perfect example of resistance to rot and a good abstraction. You will always be able to read it in any given language because it is a language and not some library. Non DSL code should be considered as compiler output and that is what 99.9% of software devs spend their time writing. They mock people who would write assembly then go and create some fucked type hierarchy in Haskell for some business problem and call it a good abstraction. The complexity just multiplies until we end up with the current state of the industry.</p>

<p>Ah shit, right, it’s probably for the best lisp isn’t mainstream.</p>

<p>The nuts and bolts will be embeddable DSL’s, they are the only code which does not rot. Put them in a hierarchy with one compiling down into another or several and you have your building.</p>
