I don't have an opinion yet, but I've found contradictory evidence from many sources, such as:

"A domain-specific language (DSL) is a type of programming language or specification language in software development and domain engineering dedicated to a particular problem domain,
[...]
The opposite is:
a general-purpose programming language, such as C, Java or Python,"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_programming_language

Since, 4GL is considered a subset of DSLs, this wiki page doesn't consider Python a 4GL.

Is is true? Why???
