Pipe dream. Languages come and go, databases do not because data is more valuable than code. There is an alternative to ACID called BASE now, but it is a LOT more complicated and is so far confined to the likes of eBay and Amazon who have hundreds (thousands?) of developers to throw at those complexities.
