At least they are honest about it LOL

Dang, substitute Lisp for Prolog and this describes me. Seriously though - Prolog is an awesome tool to have in your toolbox. I've implemented Prolog-like logic programming solutions in several places in my 40+ years of programming. Like rules for assigning molecular mechanics force field atom types.

If it's an official production system you want, then use OPS-5, not Prolog!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPS5

>OPS5 is a rule-based or production system computer language, notable as the first such language to be used in a successful expert system, the R1/XCON system used to configure VAX computers.

>The OPS (said to be short for "Official Production System") family was developed in the late 1970s by Charles Forgy while at Carnegie Mellon University. Allen Newell's research group in artificial intelligence had been working on production systems for some time, but Forgy's implementation, based on his Rete algorithm, was especially efficient, sufficiently so that it was possible to scale up to larger problems involving hundreds or thousands of rules.

Looks fun :D, i think that if i ask my manager to build something out of Prolog i would probably get stab... i mean fired since most of us work in OOP. I would love to be that insane one asking for that :D.

I only have one thing to say to this man, “hey! Quit stealing my moves!”

Fuckin' A.
