Does anyone remember the language that wanted to be future of programming, making everything (API calls, lists on screen etc) inherit from 1 base class, and it used SQL-like searching for filtering on collections? It had a browser based demo.

    Depressing thing to Google. Seems like an interesting project that couldn't keep it's funding in volatile times. It might have been Swift or F# if developed at a better company.

        Whitespace-implied parenthesis. 1+2 * 3 == 9 Sick! I wish Haskell notices this.

Eve? http://witheve.com/ http://witheve.com/ The Eve core is based on a distributed logic programming semantics (although SQL-like is a good accessible description). It was inspired by a datalog-based language called Dedalus (amongst other things).
