domain-specific-languages

say i found a good open source software/library written in python. i want to wrap some of the functions or methods that i have created into easy to understand language of my own.

do porter_stemm(DOC) (the DSL) would be equivalent to the function or series of methods written in python.

i want to create a DSL that is easy to learn, but need this DSL translated into the original open source software software.

im not sure if i am clear here but my intention is:

create an easy to learn code language that users can use to solve a problem in a certain niche.
this simple language needs to be translated or compiled or interpretated via some middleware into the original open source software's language (python).
