You might really enjoy Clojure, which is a data driven language, even the code itself is data. It also challenges how you think about programming, as any lisp would.

Or Elixir, which is nicer if you prefer Ruby syntax over -Java- (updated:) Lisp

That's an odd comparison to Clojure, because while Elixir has vaguely Ruby-esque syntax, Clojure, despite excellent Java interop, has Lisp syntax, not Java syntax, even down to having method calls on Java objects look like Lisp function calls -- (.methodName object) rather than object.methodName
