I'm having trouble imagining any sufficiently specific and unambiguous format for writing requirements that does not look like programming. Even something like SQL, which only needs to describe database queries, is still the domain of the programmer.

Diagrams, other visual and high level declarative programming are all readily grasped by non programmers. The full impact of their "program's" behaviour may not be. But since when has there never been a junior dev position who's work couldn't be made better by knowing more. The very notion of junior dev implies they have more to learn.
