#TIL about Sweep, which embeds #Prolog in #Emacs

> Sweep uses the C interfaces of both SWI-Prolog and Emacs Lisp to create a dynamically loaded Emacs module that contains the SWI-Prolog runtime. As such, Sweep has parts written in C, in Prolog and in Emacs Lisp.

Domain-specific Languages in a Finite Domain Constraint Programming System

In this paper, we present domain-specific languages (DSLs) that we devised for their use in the implementation of a finite domain constraint programming system, available as library(clpfd) in SWI-Prolog and YAP-Prolog. These DSLs are used in propagator selection and constraint reification. In these areas, they lead to concise specifications that are easy to read and reason about. At compilation time, these specifications are translated to Prolog code, reducing interpretative run-time overheads. The devised languages can be used in the implementation of other finite domain constraint solvers as well and may contribute to their correctness, conciseness and efficiency.

In 1985, it was the first time for me to see an #AI program written in #Prolog. I was so impressed and I was still young that I decided I wanted to study #computer sciences because of AI.
I did so and never used AI again. I learned a bit of prolog and #lisp during my classes.
Now I'm retired and AI is the last hottest shit.
Timing seems to be everything in life.

@anthk Indeed. Back in the 1980s, I wrote a number of very-near-natural-language query systems, both in #Lisp and in #Prolog

This is not rocket science (not that it would be too hard for NASA if it were)

I made a simple prolog formatter for fun, maybe it can be useful for you 😊

@janneke @vnikolov @spook No.

The imperative style was very much frowned upon in all Lisps until Common #Lisp introduced SETF, which sold the pass. We had RPLACA and RPLACD in much the same way as #Prolog has the cut operator: ugly hacks, shameful to use, to get around the inadequacies of our machines.

I still think it's best to think of Common Lisp as not Lisp at all but more Fortran-with-brackets.

Modern Lisps like #Clojure use immutable data, which makes imperative style impossible.

> Saving html and js into a database

ok the vibe coding brain melt is obviously gross, but it's totally fine to save html in database. #sqlite is basically like filesystem but faster.

also, #prolog is pretty much the answer to »what if we used #sql for everything?« to avoid object-relational impendance mismatch.
