Agreed.

I suppose the appropriate term for the Smalltalk community would be
"domain-specific vocabulary." We don't create a a separate language, with
its own syntax and grammar, but we do tend to create to create a coherent
system of nouns and verbs (classes and messages) that draw directly from
the problem domain. Let's all write slick DSVs!
