I like your work, but think the main problem (that I relate) is the look for the "just better" version.

I'm also on the dream of build a relational lang (http://tablam.org) but tied to a more practical concern: How move all my data/processing logic that I have around dozen languages and frameworks so i can do a medium size ERP. In fact, I do "erp-like" modules all my life and it getting harder and costlier with the explosion on targets and needs.

I think you must have focused in a "sqlite-like" version that can be integrated inside any project. (this, btw, is my goal). Also, this kind of project was made for the traditional enterprise/financial customer. You could have some chance there, IMHO.

I read a little of the big post, I see that you get scared when Apple and others start using the ideas of yours seriously. I commit the same mistake years ago. Is true that have a big gorilla in your same space means it will eat a big pie of the market fast, but not matter what, the gorilla is never as good as the one with a more clear idea. And you can take a part of the slice just for be the ones to fall back when the gorilla-solution blow in the customers faces.

Part of my life is take over after a "big-project" and do something for real.
