SQL has outlasted every technology that was supposed to replace it, and the landscape around it has multiplied rather than shrunk. Distributed SQL, query engines over object storage, SQL layers on top of non-relational systems, and a steady supply of alternatives to specific incumbent databases.
Altsql names that space on the .net, which is the natural extension for database infrastructure. The alt- prefix signals adjacency rather than replacement, which is the accurate position: nobody is replacing the language, plenty of people are building alternatives to particular implementations.
It fits a database product, a query engine, a comparison and benchmarking resource, a migration consultancy, or a technical publication. The .net reads as native to infrastructure rather than as a second choice, and it costs nothing with a technical audience.
Six characters, no hyphen, and both components are immediately legible to the buyer. Short technical names matter because they end up typed constantly.
