It's inspired me to download far too many related papers :) Things I find fascinating about miniKanren (just my impressions, I could be off/wrong about all of these): * is only some 317 lines of code! Maxwell's Equations of Logic Programming?! * embedded, allows you mix Functional and Logic Pogramming paradigms - also ditches Prolog syntax * pure relational programming, kind of the way Haskell is purely functional (no cut) * good foundation for building a type-inferencer * amenable to aggressive optimizations (full Kanren seems competitive with mature Prologs) * amenable to parallelization David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
