Especially with reactive programming as an ask there, I would recommend Julia with Pluto.jl (Pluto is a reactive notebook).

Julia ;) It is really dynamic, has meta-programming (macros + staged functions), solid semantics around eval/invokelatest that still allow for optimizations and you can add types at runtime (not modify them though).

Try APL for 6 months and tell me Julia is not too verbose for a calculator...
