It hasn't been merged into the main branch yet, but you can embed Scryer in Python now[1], and it's quite enjoyable. I've also embedded in Java, Clojure, and elisp[2] :)
The Clojure one is bundled up into a library called libscryer-clj, which I haven't released yet, but it operates the same way as libpython-clj[3], libjulia-clj[4], and libapl-clj[5].
As an aside, Scryer is hella ergonomic. clpz+reif is an amazing and amazingly powerful combination, and Scryer's DCG philsophy over double quoted strings is chefs kiss -- it really delivers on the original mission of Prolog. Ediprolog[6] is a fantastic REPL for Emacs.
And honestly if you haven't seen Marcus Triska's work[7], by God you are missing out on one of the true joys of life.

- jasonhemann 2y agoI was going to mention how cool JJs work is. Upvote to all those links.
- upghost 2y agoNah dude YOU are awesome! I'm just embedding the work other smart people did haha.
- cess11 2y agoAh, nice! Yeah, I really like Scryer, it's been my goto Prolog for quite some time. You wouldn't know a way to get it working under Termux on Android? I tried to build it a while back but got inscrutable compiler errors and didn't follow through. Maybe building Trealla would be easier, since it's implemented in C. I'm also enjoying http://tau-prolog.org/ http://tau-prolog.org/.
- upghost 2y agoTrealla and Tau are both wonderful. Very close cousins of Scryer. I've never tried compiling on rust before but open an issue or a discussion on the Scryer board and maybe we can figure it out! https://github.com/mthom/scryer-prolog https://github.com/mthom/scryer-prolog
- upghost 2y ago*clarification-- it's written in rust, never tried compiling rust for android before
