I guess I'm talking about a domain-specific language. Something where you only articulate business processes and formulas, and nothing more. Java and Python are programming languages. You use them to tell a computer what to do. Whereas this would be a representation language. You'd be able to carry that representation around with you and drop it into different programming contexts.

You should look at Sqlite, not just as a portable business environment, but as a data format and deployment format.
