Howdy! This having looked through the repo and docs, this feels to be very Prolog-y, or more specifically a fairly domain specific implementation of a thing that's otherwise generalized typically by Prolog.

I'm really curious to hear if it was in any way informed or inspired by other logic programming systems, and/or what some of the more challenging aspects were of implementing a predicate logic system like this in Golang.

Is there any way of including an external data source, like a database, instead of data documents? For example, the management hierarchy for my company lives in an ERP system and I'd like the data to be as up to date as possible.

Also, are there any theoretical limits to how much data could be loaded in to OPA?
