Although it has been stated that domain specific languages lack completeness and are not very applicable to solving problems outside of the domain, I think it is worth noting that while not easy, it should be possible to solve any general problem using Lizst.
My reasoning is that we can represent an elementary cellular automata as a 1 dimensional mesh and we can compute the transition from one iteration to the next via a description of boolean mesh based flow much like in the following slides.
If we implement Rule 110, which is capable of universal computation, then we should be able to use the Lizst programming language to solve any general problem, although developing in such a language would be like using an esoteric programming language and is certainly not the nail the developers of Lizst had in mind when they created this hammer.

@BryceToTheCore cool post. Funny how all of math, continuous and otherwise, flows together - much like the jet stream simulated above.
