I'm a QuestDB dev, data on a QuestDb is also stored in a single address space and SQL queries are compiled into objects that run in that address space. However, it is just SQL not a bespoke language. A future possibility would be to allow queries in java or scala.

Implementing the ability for QuestDB to dynamically load jars would be really cool. And if you exposed an interface to directly communicate with the Db, you could get rid of the SQL parsing overhead as well. This would also allow QuestDB to function as an app engine of sorts, just like kdb+/q. I see real value in that for latency sensitive financial applications.
