Much appreciated, I kind of got what triska meant (didn't realize they were a contributor to that project), I just wanted to highlight that this is a real barrier for adoption of these alternative stacks. I find this interesting enough to spend more than those 10 minutes when I have time, sure. It's just that a random dev on the search for some component to solve something in their stack likely wont. Just gave the SWI implementation a try and that was honestly a much better experience and I could immediately jump on their getting started guides to get a feel. Thanks for the pointers as well, I've got a few colleagues that actively use prolog but good to see that there's an active community out there. > EDIT: "halt." should work at any Prolog prompt. The "." is a statement terminator. You probably didn't get anything after "halt return" because you missed the dot. Whoops. Yup, I think I might have, I was under the impression that dot in the documentation was the sentence delimiter. (And btw, my bad about the Perl comment, I just realized when setting up the SWI one that they seem to share a file extension with Perl.) |

I'm glad you like Swi. It's not the fastest implementation but it's certainly the one with the largest community and the most quality-of-life features, documentation server, unit tests library, package manager etc. I love it :)

Oh yes, I totally forgot about that (can't say I use much perl!). It can look funny if you don't expect it :)
Anyway I hope you have time to look into the language more in the future. Like I say, it's hard to learn but it's worth the pain.
