   I'm sorry, but I still think I'm not sure what you mean by interpreter. I hope you don't mind if I press further, but I'm very much enjoying this deep dive into the CLIPS C API with you. When you compile your code includ

   Good find in the apg! That thing is a wealth of info. It look like contructs-to-c wouldn't make things faster, but would instead reduce the compiled code size. If I'm understanding your meaning, you mean "interpreted" in

   You can compile CLIPS (including your rules) into C code from within CLIPS itself, which then gets compiled to a dedicated binary.

    I've been studying Rete for the past few years, and I've been working exclusively in CLIPS for the past year, a programming language that uses the Rete Algorithm at it's core. It's a very clever algorithm, and provides a

    I just ran into this this week implementing a socket library in CLIPS. I used Berkley sockets, and before that I had only worked with higher-level languages/frameworks that abstracts a lot of these concerns away. I was quite confused w

    I just made CLIPSockets public, which is a culmination of learning I've taken from trying to make web applications using primarily CLIPS. Thought I'd bump it here: CLIPSockets: Clips low-level socket implementation - https:/

    Holy moly. I had my suspicions Magic would be a good candidate for something like CLIPS when it comes to software implementation. Do you have a source for that info? What an amazing bug.

    Cool, looks like sauron-engine is indeed actively developed. I've not used it myself. Also for your consideration, clipspy, which exposes CLIPS in Python: https://github.com/noxdafox/clipspy

    That sounds like an excellent use case. You bring up something awesome about CLIPS: it's easy to tailor it to your needs. Once you have your CLIPS code, you can trim out the parts you don't need using compiler flags. Once you have

    The only way I've found to back up the claims: try to prove them myself :) or at least attempt to. I'm fairly convinced CLIPS is an unexplored middle-ground answer to conversations around "does our company really need AI&#x2F

    This has been similar to my experience. Rules Engines like CLIPS are just outside of the bounds of "cheap enough to spend time learning on the off-chance it is indeed better than what we've already written."
