I do not challenge the notion that I am unfamiliar with conlangs, and I am not 
a linguist either. However, as someone who does day-to-day work encoding what 
would otherwise remain artistic endeavors, I will challenge your doubt towards 
my presence here as pretentious. Unless you are as intimately familiar with 
esolangs, you should refrain from making such needlessly inflammatory 
statements. And rest assured that I am more than familiar with DSLs as well, 
for the same reason I am aware about esolangs -- working with code has been my 
daily disposition for over a decade at this point.
