Extasy about JIT Indexing

Dear All,

JIT Indexing seams really to leverage Prolog systems.
Just wondering why it only became popular recently,
since it matches certain design principles:

Simple can look simple, but be complex
to get there. Start at the heart of the
question and build in the series of layers,
to the most beautiful resolution.
-- Steve Jobs

BTW: A similar move has been seen in DBMS technology.
Decades ago database tuning included defining the
right access paths, means indexes among other things.
Now most of the DBMS do sophisticated automatic indexing
based on collected query statistics.
