suboptimal
Surely someone can cobble such a language together.

Personally, I don't think that there's a one-size-fits-all language for "business". The needs and quirks are too diverse.

I do think that domain specific languages (to use the term du jour) that are focused on the actual needs and quirks of a business built on top of good fundamentals is a solution.

The argument about whether or not the DSLs need to be embedded (ala macros) or external is a separate argument.

Is it possible that the need for a language tailored 'business logic' stems from the simple fact that actual logic is at no point whatsoever involved?

That's why there will never be just one. :-)

Awesome idea! We can call it the Common Business-Oriented Language

Oh, wait...
