Ok, when I listed these two tomb stones,
this wasn't because I was jealous that
SWI-Prolog has dicts and dicts syntax,
its more the KISS principle, and the idea
that Prolog processors should pursue
non-functional optimizations without
new functional requirements. It might
appear as a strange idea, but it has many
advantages like not affecting the end-user
functionally in any way and not affecting
portability in any way. In as far my
tomb stones wish list is that long:
- SWI-Prolog dicts
- String type [not only SWI-Prolog]
The string type idea made it also into
a few newer Prolog system, but wouldn't it
be nice if strings where just transparent,
and implementation detail the Prolog processor
chooses, and not anything the end-user has
to worry about?
