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.

There is https://github.com/linq2db/linq2db which is LINQ to SQL reincarnated.

Of course there's EF Core too.

And NHibernate.Linq and Dapper.Extensions.Linq… Most ORMs in the ecosystem have at least one Linq support library, even if just a third-party extension.

Also, there are fun things that support Linq syntax for non-ORM uses, too, such as System.Reactive.Linq and LanguageExt: https://github.com/louthy/language-ext/wiki/How-to-deal-with...
