Hah, I threw LINQ in there figuring something like D would be too confusing/obscure. But your reminder sent me a-googling - wikipedia opens with: "D is a set of requirements proposed by Christopher J. Date and Hugh Darwen in their book The Third Manifesto "

So maybe NoSQL people need a movement after all. The relational people are at _least_ on their third manifesto. Lot of catching up to do!
