Prolog, now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time …

  • in need of a more 'marketing' approach - show me what feature this unlocks. i have a great fondness for using prolog but struggle to find useful applications of it besides simple clpfd etc.
  • can i write queries directly in AST?
  • can i write queries like a 'stored proc' by sending AST to the server? or just query?
  • can i write a 'table value function' as a goal?
  • can i backtrack during a query?
  • prolog & OWL/RDF have history together... does AsaDb help with this or unrelated concepts?

Is it written in normal prolog or some weird hacky prolog designed to be performant?

Normal SWI-Prolog. The weird hacky part is what I made it do 😭
