I keep finding myself thinking about what an API in D for easy

thinking about how ORM is done in libraries in other languages,
and started to become obsessed with the notion that perhaps
there should be a library for D which is roughly as convenient
to use as an ORM, but tends towards greater efficiency, in
particular for encouraging more efficient queries through the
API, and for cutting down on the number of allocations done.
Has anyone had any thoughts on this so far? I work with Django
in my day-to-day work, but I have often thought that it would
be nice to have something for easy database access for D web
server backends. So you can write low to medium scale web
applications in some dynamic language, and high performance
backends in D for large scale web projects. Django provides a
variety of nice features for working with databases, and I
wonder how they would be represented in D.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this topic?

Perhaps not exactly what you need, but this looked quite nice to
me. Sönke doesn't seem to be doing much else, so I can't think
why it's not finished yet ;) (and since this is the internet: I
mean the opposite).
