you make an important point -- there's the choice and mechanics of a computer language (which is where i was thinking), and then the overall hci of the data analysis activity. should it look like software development or use of an (incredibly powerful) interactive calculator with dsls that are carefully designed to match the lingua franca of the fields they serve. (or, assuming possible, should the lingua franca move to a dsl and hci paradigm that is easier for humans and machines to reason about with minimized ambiguity?)
