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.

Eve? 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).

Yes, thank you!
No but tell me if you remember.
Fortress?
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.
they did the best job of operator associativity and precedence i've ever seen. still hoping some other languages pick up on it. http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2943#comment-43411
Whitespace-implied parenthesis.

    1+2 * 3 == 9
Sick! I wish Haskell notices this.
It's Eve
