Building Efficient Query Engines in a High-Level Language
Summary: LegoBase rethinks query engines as Scala program generators that emit specialized low-level C, enabling abstraction without performance loss. Its extensible optimizations outperform commercial in-memory DBs and query compilers with little code and low compilation overhead. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
