Excellent, this is the Scheme engine I was looking for! All the engines I knew from a long time ago where written in C, not in Java. With these engines interfacing between Scheme and Java had to go through a C layer implementing JNI calls, which, as you imagine, is very expensive. Thanks, -- Ov

You have just provided a great example of something really close to what I was trying to express a while back when I proposed Prolog as a mechanism for "proving" URLs based on some rules, premises, and an inference engine. I don't think that it's exactly the same, but it's *very* similar.

There has been a lot of talk about Finite State Machine approaches, Staged Event Driven Architecture (a refinement of the same), Scheme, and more. When I saw the post regarding Scheme it jogged my memory (a few days later). When I was first working for my company, we were developing a really coo
