	abstract = {<p>When developing new data-intensive applications, one faces a build-or-buy decision: use an existing off-the-shelf data management system (DMS) or implement a custom solution. While off-the-shelf
systems offer quick results, they lack the flexibility to accommodate the changing requirements of long-term projects. Building a
solution from scratch in a general-purpose programming language,
however, comes with long-term development costs that may not be
justified. What is lacking is a middle ground or, more precisely,
a clear migration path from off-the-shelf Data Management Systems to customized applications in general-purpose programming
languages. There is, in effect, a no man{\textquoteright}s land that neither compiler
nor database researchers have claimed.</p>

<p>We believe that this problem is an opportunity for the database
community to claim a stake. We need to invest effort to transfer the
outcomes of data management research into fields of programming
languages and compilers. The common complaint that other fields
are re-inventing database techniques bears witness to the need for
that knowledge transfer. In this paper, we motivate the necessity
for data management techniques in general-purpose programming
languages and outline a number of specific opportunities for knowledge transfer. This effort will not only cover the no man{\textquoteright}s land but
also broaden the impact of data management research.</p>},
