As someone who is into programming and lisps, I would prefer a declarative language (a la SQL and the relational model) which is just simply superior at manipulating data over some FP language (OOP langs are much worse of course). But then, many already use SQL instead of spreadsheets.

If the native language is Lisp, you could use it to build a declarative DSL pretty easily. If the native language is something like SQL, your options are much more limited.

Right on! I was thinking of suggesting something like minikanren. My likes can get a bit niche at this point so I’ll leave it at that.
