Optimizing Nested Recursive Queries

Summary: Temporel enables recursion to mix with non-monotone operators, reducing inefficiencies in relaxed Datalog. It compiles to TempoDL, a novel IR enabling optimizations and outperforming Datalog and in-memory engines on ML/graph workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
