I think, Lua (with Vessel, see my other post) may be a good compromise
of both worlds. (It may have not enough parenthesis for your taste. ;)

Actually as I recently had a quick look at Rick Taube's SAL language
syntax for working with Common Music, I was amazed at how similar SAL
looks and feels to straight Lua code. I even wondered, if inventing a
new domain specifc language like SAL was necessary.
