Could you build this?
No Developing an AI-native, differentiable Datalog database engine in Rust requires advanced database internals, formal logic semantics, and automatic differentiation research.
What it would actually take: The core engine requires a relational algebra execution model in Rust implementing semi-naïve evaluation for Datalog, coupled with reverse-mode automatic differentiation over relational operators and probabilistic logic tensors. The hard part is deriving gradients through recursive fixed-point queries and optimizing join indexes for sparse vector representations without massive memory bloat. This demands specialized research expertise in programming languages, formal deductive databases, and deep mathematical optimization theory.
