I think they ment DSL as in Domain Specific Language

DSL. In fact a guy at the Clojure NYC meetup did this exact thing (for
financial data, in clojure) to generate all the Java APIs needed to
consume/write the data files.
For the sake of us poor, clueless lurkers, would you mind defining DSL in
this context? All I can think of is DSL as in Internet service, but I can
tell from context that it's not the right definition.

Groovy or JRuby might be a better choice depending on how averse you
are to toenail-based languages, but this is precisely the kind of
thing DSLs are good for, and it's a lot easier to remember a
human-readable DSL than the scanf spec, and it'd be easier to add
domain-specific data types.
