A single binary dependency may be a better fit for one project as you outline, but I would make the wider case for a common core language that provides a DSL toolkit with a recursive descent style Grammar capability. This helps to build critical mass across multiple DSLs to maintain and improve a secure code base. In turn, DSL authors get a more productive development environment. Raku embeds Grammar support for DSLs and will soon have AST introspection for "Slang" authors to reach in and build elements directly...
