cl-kanren

Cl-kanren An implementation of miniKanren wrappend around an implementation of microKanren.

In short is a library for embed logic programming in your common lisp software.

Usage

install

Cl-kanren is included in quicklisp so


(ql:quickload "cl-kanren")

Actual use of logic programming needs some more words than a reasonably short README file can accomodate.

My suggestion is to start pointing your browser to

microKanren.org, there are a lot of resouces there.

Difference from the cl-kanren-trs

  • there is no conde, it has been replaced by condi;
  • == is actually ==-check;

Credits

cl-kanren is an implementation of miniKanren, the language discussed in "The Reasoned Schemer"1

Many thanks to Jason Hemann, his works for Lambda Jam 2014 inspired a few forms in this implementation.
