Rhyme Native: Efficient Code Generation for Structured and Semi-Structured Workloads

Summary: Rhyme Native unifies relational and nested JSON queries in one declarative, object-shaped language, with refined generator semantics and a correct fine-grained scheduler. A gradual type system and C backend emit specialized tagless native code, matching SQL engines and beating JSON systems. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
