I wonder if the growth of "low-code" will lead to many more well designed domain specific languages.

LookML in Looker is one example I can think of - imo it has enabled Looker to solve the self-service data issue much better via a low-code approach than Tableau and Qlikview (both "no-code").

This is absolutely valid. There is a comprehensive analytics platform that I work on where we went from (a litany of) REST services to our own domain language. It not only allowed us to go across databases (Graph / RDF / RDBMS) but even across processing engines (R/Python). This is really where I think the industry should go. I am sure someone will point out there is a great talk by Brian Kernighan on this on youtube.
