Re: Decrease Entropy (Was: Alain Colmerauer Prolog Systems Price (Was: The Heat Death of Prolog)

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.
