We do indeed need a good database abstraction. But a core requirement for any implementation has yet to be met.
There has to be a standard way for asynchronous sockets. To implement this we need to take into consideration the event loop that it uses and more importantly allow it to be integrated for e.g. windowing.
So here is a dependency before we get a database abstraction into Phobos, a nice fast event loop manager that is generic.
