So how can we decrease entropy in Prolog
systems design. Here some examples:
- Janus nonsense:
Nobody cares about features terms, just
use member(x-V, [x-10,y-20]) (*), nobody needs
a copying foreign function interface.
- ProB nonsense:
Papers like "Making ProB compatible with
SWI-Prolog" rater point to problems, than
to problem solution pairs.
(*) Ok, that was sarcasm with a grain of
salt. But its folk knowledge that for for
small size dicts linear search is indeed
on par with binary search.
