Rather than competing with general-purpose languages, these domain languages typically complement them. Most mainstream programming languages either officially support or have community-built libraries to interact with these domain languages.

This complementary relationship led to the term "**Domain Text Literal**" rather than "**Domain-Specific Language**", emphasizing their role as specialized text formats that can be embedded within general-purpose code.
