The Andorra Kernel Language (AKL) is introduced. It is shown how AKL provides the programming paradigms of both Prolog and GHC. This is the original goal of the design. However, it has also been possible to provide capabilities beyond that of Prolog and GHC. There are means to structure search, more powerful thanplain backtracking. It is possible to encapsulate search in concurrent reactiveprocesses. It is also possible to write a multi-way merger with constant delay.In these respects AKL is quite original. Although AKL is an instance of our previously introduced Kernel Andorra Prolog framework, this exposition contains important extensions, and a considerable amount of unnecessary formal overhead has been stripped away.

Experiences with a simple structured programming language
SIGCSE '74: Proceedings of the fourth SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science educationA great deal of interest has developed in structured programming [Dahl, Dijkstra, and Hoare, 1972] during the past few years. This paper is concerned with some experiences obtained in the use of a structured programming language in the computer science ...
