> .Net's LINQ comes close, at least for querying It breaks down in really stupid and unintuitive ways. Now you're not just learning LINQ, but also the ideosyncracies of how LINQ translates queries to SQL and why sometimes your performance plummets even though you expressed yourself in the same way, but if you put some query in a variable first and then continue grouping it does a query that takes milliseconds. It's the best example of a leaky abstraction I've ever come across.
