Which is a pity I'd say. The new languages you mention would benefit most from such a feature. I believe they won't do it not because it's not useful, but because it's difficult to make it right (efficient, safe, natural, scalable) and then maintain forever.

There are many benefits of having this functionality working out of the box (and a few disadvantages, obviously). Many (if not most) apps are just CRUD apps with some added functionality. But a standard way of connecting the language to a database is still missing. The great success of the ActiveRecord back in the day shows that this is something many developers would benefit from (it was/is good, but still not ideal). And I don't believe patching the situation with a multitude of incompatible ORMs solves anything.
