Towards Unifying Query Interpretation and Compilation
Summary: Positions unifying vectorized interpretation (developer-friendly) and query compilation (better locality and runtime performance but high startup latency and system complexity) as key for modern execution engines. Discusses two fundamental barriers: startup overhead and engineering complexity. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
