Languages like SQL and Prolog don't specify algorithms, they describe
the desired result.  I agree that the quality of compilers that turn these
specifications into algorithms can improve dramatically, and that
this kind of specification is a great way to increase the productivity
of programming languages.

Getting back to go.... In my dreams I could write 

        "select groups where safety<alpha and size<beta and color=black"
