Was this intended as a contrast with Python?
'Different way to say this: "database", in this sense,
is a dirty subject, in that it's far more tied to grungy
details of specific implementations than the masses
generally realize, or than either Python or Tcl, both of
which prize purity in their own ways, generally support.
A general database abstraction is about as rarefied as a
general GUI abstraction.
