Amzi! Retirement: 2026 is only next year (Was: comp.lang.prologFrequently Asked Questions)

From Mild Shock@janburse@fastmail.fm to comp.lang.prolog on Sun Jul 13 15:11:28 2025

From Newsgroup: comp.lang.prolog

Amzi! Prolog just tells me:

This Web site will be closing on 6/19/2026.
Dennis Merritt is finally retiring!

https://www.amzi.com/

And here he writes:

I used to earn my living writing and selling software.
My company was AmziLogic LLC, and sold Prolog
and Prolog-based software.

https://denniscmerritt.com/amzi-inc/

So who is the benevolent Software-Escrow. Problem
is even if there are lovely Prolog books from Amzi!
The world might tick differently now,

USA in strong competition over AI with China,
AGI already nocking on the door.

General Information: This article contains the answers to some
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) often seen in
news://comp.lang.prolog/. It is posted (twice a month, currently on
the 2nd and 16th) to help reduce volume in this newsgroup and to
provide hard-to-find information of general interest.

The World Wide Web URL for this FAQ is:
http://www.logic.at/prolog/faq/

Please send questions about the FAQ and updates to
<triska@logic.at>.

1. What is the Association for Logic Programming?

To keep up with the current state of logic programming technology,
readers can join the Association for Logic Programming (ALP) and
receive their Newsletter. For details on how to join or send in
contributions, check http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/ALP/ or contact

Sandro Etalle <etalle@cs.utwente.nl>

The Prolog Resource Guide (v0.6) was printed in issue 5/1 of the
Newsletter (Feb. 1992). This lists information concerning Prolog
Archives, Books, Suppliers, etc. It is now maintained by Mark
Kantrowitz (<Mark.Kantrowitz@glinda.oz.cs.cmu.edu>), and used to be
posted periodically to news://comp.lang.prolog.

2. Where can I get a free Prolog for system X (PC, Mac, Unix or other)?

The following are anonymous-FTP sites for free Prologs (or related
languages) which are either in the public domain or are "copy-lefted"
(permitted to be copied with some restrictions on commercial use).

(Please note that for extensive development work, users will probably
want a robust interpreter or compiler with good debugging facilities
and a standard syntax, among other things. While public-domain systems
are a valuable service to the community, they do not necessarily have
all these things, and users should weigh carefully what they want to do
against the capabilities and costs of the available systems.)

3. What commercial systems are available? What about systems available
for a price from research institutions?

Many commercial systems are listed in the Prolog Resource Guide. The
Resource Guide also lists many systems which are not exactly
"commercial", but available for a price from research institutions. The
list of such systems was originally compiled by Chris Moss, of Imperial
College. The rest of the Resource Guide was originally compiled by Dag
Wahlberg, of Uppsala University.

The Prolog Resource Guide hasn't been updated lately, but nevertheless
still contains some valuable information. It can be found at
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/faqs/lang/prolog/prg/top.html.

5. I think language X is better than Prolog. What do you think?

These debates rarely result in any productive discussion. To some
extent, one's favourite language is based on irrational ideology.

However, many people now agree that different languages are good for
different things. Prolog seems to be good for problems in which logic
is intimately involved, or whose solutions have a succinct logical
characterization. Like other interactive, symbolic languages, Prolog is
also good for rapid prototyping.

Also, note that there are many different "Prologs" and other logic
programming languages available, all with different capabilities.

6. What are the recent developments?

There are some languages in development which do not have Prolog
syntax, but do subsume and generalize Prolog's logic programming
abilities.

7. My Prolog prof assigned me this problem. Can you help me with it?

If your instructor assigned it to you, he or she probably wanted you to
do it yourself. If it's an introductory Prolog course, your question
might be elementary to most readers, so it might be a waste of network
resources to ask it. Please ask your instructor, a friend, a teaching
assistant, or a local newsgroup for help first.

That being said, there are news://comp.lang.prolog/ readers who would
be glad to help people making a legitimate attempt to learn Prolog.

8. Can you suggest some books on Prolog?

The Prolog Resource Guide (see above) contains a listing of Prolog
books. It is maintained by Mark Kantrowitz
(<Mark.Kantrowitz@glinda.oz.cs.cmu.edu>), and posted periodically on
news://comp.lang.prolog.

Here are some of the most popular books on Prolog.

Yes, there are: Google Groups has archives of news://comp.lang.prolog/.
They can be found at
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.lang.prolog

10. How can I get the ISO Prolog standard? Where can I go for more
information about it?

You can obtain the approved international standards from your national
member body or directly from ISO (http://www.iso.org).

The working group on Prolog standardisation is ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG17
(http://www.sju.edu/~jhodgson/wg17/).

Contacts:

+ Convenor of WG17: Ulrich Neumerkel
(<ulrich@mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at>)

and related material by the convenor of WG17.

For questions about the standard, use this newsgroup or Stackoverflow.

11. How does the WAM (Warren Abstract Machine) work? How do I write a
WAM-based compiler or a WAM emulator?

Reportedly the best tutorial is Hassan Ait-Kaci's book "Warren's
Abstract Machine: A Tutorial Reconstruction" (MIT Press, 1991). The
book is out of print, and available online at
http://wambook.sourceforge.net.

12. Is there a WWW page on logic programming?

Yes, there is one by Jonathan Bowen; the URL is
http://www.afm.sbu.ac.uk/logic-prog/. He invites us to mail him at
<jonathan.bowen@sbu.ac.uk> with any relevant information for inclusion.

A collection of artifacts from logic programming languages beginning
with Marseille Prolog is available from
http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/prolog/index.html

A large amount of Prolog code is available from the CMU AI Repository:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/prolog/0.htm
l

Recently, Stackoverflow has become a valuable resource for Prolog
questions and answers: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/prolog

Another community resource is the #prolog IRC channel on
irc.libera.chat.

13. Can I do Internet/WWW programming with Prolog?

Prolog is very suitable for this task. Several commercial and free
implementations include special support for it. A page specifically on
this topic (including some tutorials) is maintained at
http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/lpnet/lpnet.html. A public-domain library
exists (PiLLoW) for several popular Prolog systems which helps in the
task. See: http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Software/pillow/

14. Is there a WWW page with some tutorials on Prolog?

Beginner level:

+ Adventure in Prolog:
http://www.amzi.com/AdventureInProlog/advfrtop.htm
+ On-line guide to Prolog Programming:
http://kti.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~bartak/prolog/index.html
+ Prolog Programming, A First Course:

15. How do I edit Prolog code?

Emacs and VIM ship with basic support for Prolog. A much improved Emacs
mode is maintained by Stefan Bruda and available from
https://bruda.ca/emacs/prolog_mode_for_emacs

Logtalk ships with various editing services for many common editors,
also usable for Prolog.

SWI Prolog has a built-in Emacs clone called PceEmacs. There are also
Emacs definitions that let you evaluate embedded queries:
https://www.metalevel.at/ediprolog/. An SWI Prolog programming
environment suitable for schools is available from
http://lernen.bildung.hessen.de/informatik/swiprolog/indexe.htm

A Prolog plug-in for the "Eclipse"-IDE is available from:
http://eclipse.ime.usp.br/projetos/grad/plugin-prolog/index.html

A sophisticated integrated editing and teaching environment with
declarative debugging, termination analysis and many visualisations is
available from http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/ulrich/gupu/

16. How do I publish Prolog code?

Logtalk ships with support for various syntax highlighters, also usable
for Prolog. These include support for Pygments (used e.g. on Trac and
GitHub), Rouge (use e.g. in GitLab), GeSHi (used e.g. on Wikis), minted
and texments LaTeX packages (e.g. source code listings), Google Code
Prettify, Source-highlight, Highlight, SyntaxHighlighter, and SHJS
(JavaScript highlighter for e.g. web pages).
