Is ISO standardisation a big deal with Prolog? I remember that SQL is also standardized, but in practice one works with the dialect ones DB vendor is offering.

- jlg23 5y agoISO Prolog and SQL matter for me a lot: I sometimes write both, but overall not much. Sticking to the standard makes revisiting code years much easier and code can survive a few major version bumps of compiler/database without problems.
- tannhaeuser 5y agoThe situation isn't comparable with SQL. Pure Prolog code tends to be pretty portable, with the major non-portable stuff being CLP apps (not Prolog) and SWI-specific code/libs.
