I think half the article talks about why CL is good because it can resume from an exception, and half the article talks about why DSLs are good.

I think others have pointed out that most modern scripting languages can halt at exceptions without unwinding the stack. Python & Node both support this with core tooling.

As for DSLs, they constrain the LLM which generally helps with code quality. However why implement your DSL in the unconstrained chaos of CL? You can write DSLs in Rust which gives you static typing, a borrow checker, and clippy.
