Thriving in the No Man’s Land between Compilers and Databases

Summary: Identifies a “no man’s land” between off-the-shelf DMSs and custom general-purpose-language solutions that lacks a clear migration path. Advocates transferring database techniques into PL/compiler ecosystems and outlines concrete research opportunities to enable gradual, composable migration. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
