   I'm going to guess not very expressive. Zig refuses to have operator overloading because it might be used to call a function that's more expensive than you'd guess so the idea that they'd let types enforce all that much

   You can pack bytes into a structure in prolog succintly enough too open('test.tar',read,TarFile) HSizes = [100,8,8,8,12,12,8,1,100,6,2,32,32,8,8,155,12], maplist(length,HBytes,HSizes), append(HBytes,~read_bytes(TarFi

   Most editors will understand .prolog, but on the other hand it's 15 years older than perl and it's not hard to teach editors to treat .pl as prolog.

   There's a cool little bencode library that also works like that, all of 30 short lines too. https://github.com/mndrix/bencode/blob/master/prolog/bencode... https://en.wikipedia.org&#

   Sort of. Because of it's restrictions it traditionally uses different search/resolution strategies than Prolog. And in the other direction the SLD resolution strategy Prolog traditionally uses can fail on syntactically valid Datal

   Yeah, having watched twitter be flooded with this shit the only one that I even had to pause for was the landscape one. Though I suppose this could be some weird hoax article and next week they'll tell me it was all ai, even the text.

    Right. I mean half the pitch of the ol manifesto was "don't plan on finishing software because it's impossible to actually get requirements out of a customer ahead of time" And it was sold as a good thing.

    Tau has a nice little DOM module http://tau-prolog.org/manual/manipulating-the-dom-with-prolo... although it's not particularly relational, mostly just wrapped jaavascript function calls.

    Just to pop in on kebab case: Prolog has a weird third thing going on. Arithmetic only happens in specific contexts. i.e. A is 4 - 2, % arithmetic, technically is(A,-(4,2)), A is 2 A #= 4 - 2, % arithmetic, A is 2 A = 4-2, % non ari

    It's also weird to claim the philosophy is "stay out of my way" when things like the application menu take over the entire screen, the basically abandoned notion of tablet/laptop/desktop gui convergence has left gno

    A lot of these threads devolve into "have you tried paying more" but I'd also like to highlight "have you actually tried telling Gen Z that". I'm 35, from basically as early as I can remember until sophmore yea

    You need to import the constraint logic module. :- use_module(library(clpfd)). Goes at the top of the file (leave off the :- if you're in the repl). The arithmetic built in to prolog is traditionally of the form A is 1+2,

    I suppose, why take away those use cases only to later weld them back together with Python, maybe having to do it with a bunch stringly typed ffi calls. Now you have three or four languages/programs/DSLs to deal with, each with im
