A small embedding of logic programming with a simple complete search
DLS 2016: Proceedings of the 12th Symposium on Dynamic LanguagesWe present a straightforward, call-by-value embedding of a small logic programming language with a simple complete search. We construct the entire language in 54 lines of Racket---half of which implement unification. We then layer over it, in 43 lines, ...
miniKanren, live and untagged: quine generation via relational interpreters (programming pearl)
Scheme '12: Proceedings of the 2012 Annual Workshop on Scheme and Functional ProgrammingWe present relational interpreters for several subsets of Scheme, written in the pure logic programming language miniKanren. We demonstrate these interpreters running "backwards"---that is, generating programs that evaluate to a specified value---and ...
