I'm more interested in the passing mention of FlockDB, which sounds cool. That'll (hopefully) save me from having to write my own distributed graph database.

Wow. I'd like to know more about it too.

The way that such chaining is possible is that each "query" (e.g., Users.order(...)) returns not an array of data, but a query object that one can manipulate still further.

That sounds just like the IQueryable<T> interface used in .Net's LINQ.
