This reminds me .NET's short lived Linq to SQL;

There was a talk at the time, but I can't find the video: http://jaoo.dk/aarhus2007/presentation/Using+LINQ+to+SQL+to+....

Basically, it was a way to cleanly plug SQL queries into C# code.

It used this sort of ordering (where the constraints come after the thing being constrained); it needed to do so for IntelliSense to work.

"Short-lived"? LINQ is very much alive in the C# ecosystem.

And FROM-first syntax absolutely makes more sense, regardless of autocomplete. You should put the "what I need to select" after the "what I'm selecting from", in general.

LINQ yes, but they killed off the component not long after introducing it.
