Believe me, I certainly understand that. I certainly had no intention of releasing my own, but I couldn't find anything else :( > Ovid: Is it really less work to push AI::Prolog to where you probably > want it to be (engine ported to C), than harness development (and > thus power) of the SWI engine and team up with Salvador? That depends, I suppose, on whether or not Salvador has the time. I realize that there's a lot of work involved. I would like to work on providing a cleaner interface, docs, tests, etc. to Yaswi, but I confess that my C is rusty -- anyone reading through AI::NeuralNet::Simple can tell you that :) In order for me to feel really confident, I'd need a bit of a roadmap on the C portion to know what's really involved in developing on that side. Personally, I think Salvador's module is a much better starting point. Mine, however, is being actively developed and has no external dependencies. It's a tough call. Salvador, are you listening? :) > 3) interface. We had good experience with Inline::C, I just don't get > it, why it shouldn't be possible to embed prolog programs in Perl > exactly that way.

Others I have spoken with tell me that doing this would be a bit of a nightmare though targeting a C interface to Prolog might not be so bad. This sounds like the route that Salvador is taking. I suppose I should look into this again. Maybe it's easier than I thought?
