It's not a specific programming language, I guess it's meant to look like Church. It could be written as:

(query
. (define a (p))
. (foreach (range n) (lambda i)
. . (define x (x-prior))
. . (factor (log (U x a)))))

Well so does the sigmoided version

It samples an action proportional to p(a) E[sigmoid(U) | a]. This can't be written as a function of E[U | a].
