For the last year or so, I've been fascinated by this concept, and I've been exploring language oriented programming with Racket. There was some discussion on this topic and the Beautiful Racket book here a while back [1]. That book is the best introduction I've found to the idea that you can build your notation to the problem you are solving.

Re: painting yourself into a corner, it is true that you can't retreat to Stack Overflow for help debugging your DSL, but the Racket documentation is some of the best I've seen, and common problems do pop up on SO.
