hey (author here), so the code isn't available as I haven't decided to open source it or not yet. You are correct to point out that it's a LOT slower than more traditional Prolog due, in part, to a different architecture.

Prolog has better (simpler, more readable) and more uniform syntax too. I don't see how yours is an improvement.

  Well but I bet you've read a lot of prolog and its familiar. Also fizz is only 0.3 I believe. Syntax is an easy change to make that early.

  I have no stake in the language, but that's not exactly a claim backed up by any arguments.

  It does mention ‘experimental’; I would not think the author is done or expects anyone to drop Prolog in favor of this just yet...

I didn't mean to offend you! It's an impressive project regardless and you're a blessing to the logic community just for putting it out there! So I'm curious though, fizz seems to be a fairly forward-looking language. You're probably planning on gpu support or maybe something like verified drivers, eventually? I noticed the http example, and ffbn, etc. Your Twitter profile is littered with like 80s scifi and stuff like that, so a limb I might venture is you appreciate the notion of what AI used to mean for humanity, as a more generalized tool for problem solving. I'm very curious what you're up to!

  I wasn't offended and it is a valid question :) And yes, I'm definitely into 80s stuff and GOFAI. I do plan to have some GPU support (probably by supporting existing ML framework) at some point (sooner if there's demand for it). I also like to explore logical inferences on GPU (but I haven't given it much thought yet).

Meh....a closed source language that doesn't seem to do anything more interesting than existing open source languages....good luck...
