OK, I've read most of what you suggested, and also found this post on 
the Sendero forum wich seems very interesting:

Yes, DAO is a very successful pattern and there's not much needed from 
the language to implement it. That seems like a good plan.

When you say "implement LISP like lists in D" are you suggesting adding 
LISP lists to the language or in a library? Because I think it a list of 
Variants as implemented on Tango would provide the same functionality.

Yea, Corba is too heavyweight to be used for database access. Though for 
intranet services would be a nice add-on. Just not needed right now.
