#2This looks like scripting to me, not describing the desired state of a system:

Give them a break. It is not prolog had been hip for a long time. Using it more idiomatically will take some practice, maybe a few web frameworks and a couple of package managers.

Give them a break? Why? They're trying to push this as a better way of managing a system.

Another failure for getting my point across on my part.
I don't see that we disagree that it is a feeble attempt at best. But consider this, who are we to judge the merits of that particular thing without more than a cursory examination? His project may as well be just a seed round away from becoming the next buzzword which people would wax poetic in the next few years. Also, logic programming is well positioned to be the next big thing discovered by the web developers because of its relative obscurity and functional programming losing its mystery.
Give them a break. It is just one of the hundreds of hopeful toy projects posted here, of which only a handful that haven't been shot down within ten seconds.

Ahm, that's the way to install pretty much everything these days.
I mean, I know it's a security risk. But it isn't any more (or less) of a risk than installing nvm or just running git clone.

You're right: it might be.
But it also might not.
And without him explaining the advantage of his approach, the project will be ignored by anyone who has used a system that shares his goal.
