If you call Fortran domain specific, then all scripting languages are
domain specific: Fortran is used for scientific programming and
scripting languages are used for scripting.  Sure, some use scripting
languages for other things, but some use Fortran for anything (google
for "Real programmers don't use Pascal").

Also, there are more "real" domain-specific languages in use now than
there has ever been before.  Most are used for very specialised purposes
and possibly only within a single company, so few of them are known in
the general community.  See more in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language
