I still haven't given up on my belief that there is a place for a new programming language/environment where your application database logic are in a single system.

I'm not ready to give up on this concept.

Recently I've been researching and experimenting with alternate methods to various things involving development, particularly database access, and have come to the conclusion that the systems that we have evolved to today are not ideal.

Any website other than a very simple one uses a database these days, right? Well then why is there a separation between web server and database server? Surely there has to be an advantage in integrating these two systems into one?
