IMO you are at the forefront of where query languages need to and will go.

Some programmers like you see that SQL ordering is backwards to human thinking, except in the simplest cases. But many people with practice and sunk costs in their SQL expertise will be resistant. The resistance usually wins the day.

But sometimes, a useful tool gets created by one person, and a rift is created in that resistance. Think John Resig creating jQuery, leading to LINQ and many other similar patterns. You could be that person for database query languages, but how do you ensure that?

Maybe imagine what made jQuery easy to adopt and indispensable for programmers: easy availability as a simple .js download; solved the problem of DOM differences between browsers. Good luck to you, and thanks for sharing.
