I'm hoping one day someone will write a window-manager service for Wayland that replaces the compositor API with a protocol. To once again enable window managers to be implemented in any language, regardless of it having a Wayland/compositor library.

#42Re: Plwm – An X11 window manager written in Prolog
#43Does someone know a tutorial or something which explains how to get from "tutorial Prolog" to "real project Prolog", because that's not look anything like tutorial Prolog. Prolog seems interesting, but any time I tried to do anything more than toy examples on my own, I got infinite recursion, unsolvable problems.

#44Isn't ".pl" actually used for perl? Well, there might be a Prolog interpreter written in (a) perl (regex) ...

I'm curious how you figure a language whose central verbs and nouns are logic "isn't math".
At work, my colleagues are almost entirely statisticians and actuaries, and I sometimes joke that my only math course at university was Calculus 1. I have of course done lots more math, but it’s all CS type stuff like logic and discrete structures like graphs and trees which is a very different world from continuous stuff.

Many people, when they say math, mean continuous math. At work, my colleagues are almost entirely statisticians and actuaries, and I sometimes joke that my only math course at university was Calculus 1.

(I know this is weak evidence that has been debunked by stronger studies.)

This is one of the best resources for “real” Prolog: https://www.metalevel.at/prolog His YouTube videos are also incredibly good.
