'Production Prolog' by Michael Hendricks

Prolog isn't just for solving cute logic puzzles. It's a powerful, productive, modern language. We've been using Prolog in production for the last 18 months. These are the cool tricks and pain points we've encountered.

Great talk. In the first 10 minutes he conveys much more relevant and interesting information about Prolog than even in one our long Prolog Introductions which can be find on YouTube.

This should be used for all intro courses on Prolog. He shows much more usefulness and reason behind the language than my college ever did.

That said we only used Prolog for about 3 weeks in a larger course on languages as a whole

I rewatch this talk several times a year for like 8 years now.

Yay, people still use Prolog! I've got some very dusty unfinished Prolog books I should pick up again.

never thought I'd see prolog as a viable choice in prod ever, this talk makes an interesting case for it though

I had done a talk on prolog for my last year. I had chose prolog that time by analysing wiki data on programming languages but it was really hard for me to learn this language I could not get concept of prolog that time which I have understood now in this seminar, thanks hendricks :)

Sir Joe Armstrong was still alive. Respect to the man.

Superb, no wonder god of NLP is prolog, chatGPT, Meta-AI everything is written on Prolog.

[SiddharthaGhoshSid]

Super cool! Now if only I could get Pengines and JavaPengines to work together!

[gamerboy]

Is the presentation given in Prolog environment itself? This is my first exposure to the Prolog language and it seems cool.

Probabilistic programming is more general than backtracking, maybe incorporating it would boost Prolog powers
