Another good example:
    
    Cell DSL, for Maple users:

       A Domain-Specific Language for the Generation of Optimized SIMD-Parallel Assembly Code 
       http://www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~kahl/Publications/TR/Anand-Kahl-2007a_DSL/

           "a domain-specific language embedded into Haskell that allows
            mathematicians to formulate novel high-performance SIMD-parallel
            algorithms for the evaluation of special functions. "
