Just to be clear: I don't give a jot whether the 4GL looks like FP. Never did. To repeat the ride involves a) cross-platform, b) form designer with 4GL methods and c) local cache that spools/synchronizes to Cloud. Fact is that Joe Average doesn't want to write Javascript/jQuery but he/she does want to be able to create simple data apps, or even leverage their own niche with a simple idea that can help pay for a new house.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
