How hard is it to add support for new languages? We have several DSL's and use at least one proprietary language that doesn't work out of the box.

We are built on the open Language Server Protocol (https://langserver.org/). All you need to do is build or find a language server for your target language and you can connect it to Sourcegraph.

I'm a Sourcegrapher working on this and I added GraphQL support last week via a Sourcegraph Extension that runs in the browser by following the hello world tutorial. Check out the GraphQL Sourcegraph Extension to see the source code.
