Programming is such a complex business these days that no one language, platform or even a paradigm can solve all problems which needs an automated solution. Structured and Object Oriented Paradigms have evolved over the years with great language support.
But there are instances where these techniques are not quite good enough, for example take a situation where you need to code heuristics of a human professional. This is a unique situation requiring a different programming technique.
This is where Logic Programming comes.Prolog and LISP are the two predominant languages in this arena. This blog entry is all about Visual Prolog by PDC. You will find a wealth of information here. Also sice I’m a .NET developer this is what really interested me. Visual Prolog is in my view a Hybrid which captures the best in both worlds. (Logic & OOP) I will do more work on this and hopefully publish the proceedings in the comming days,months here. Till then Happy Coding…….I’m leaving to Kandy.
