Excellent communicator.

I love when a talk i just watch out of curiosity, about a language i will probably never seriously use, makes me realize that a completely unrelated language I'm trying to learn (F#) has a feature which I wanted/needed, but couldn't get to work so I assumed it doesn't have it.
pattern-matching a sequence of elements in a list. it seemed weird it wouldn't have it. turns out i was just writing it wrong. thanks, prolog, for teaching me F#! =D

[@denisg1208]

I used to write in F#. Just out of curiosity, did you implement logic programming in F#/ how did you do it?

[@SanguineIllusion]

One of my favorite talks at the conference.

[@ernestboston7707]

Thanks, I enjoyed! I got SWI-Prolog installed on my Raspberry Pi 3, and got the 5 Floor Apartment problem to work on it, as well as another db of my family members.

I hated learning Prolog, Scheme, etc. in Uni because I was such a c++ fanboy. I now have a lot more appreciation for functional and other paradigms.

[@derekfrost8991]

Prolog & scheme are really nice for processing data.. :)

[@sachinxavier3077]

Superb.. This is the best way to give an introduction to new topic.

[@chris_sndw]

Thanks for uploading! I made my own 4-bit Carry-Ripple-Adder jet before I finished watching the video.

[@jonatasdp]

I love these examples. Thank you!

[@VADroidTS555]

Great talk!

[@mohance]

Watching 2nd time, loved it. Thanks.

[@ceyhunciper7682]

Brilliant.

[@derekfrost8991]

Great talk. I only have a couple of years' experience in prolog but I would think the adjacent rule should be defined positive but then applied in the negative, \+(adjacent(person1, person2)).

[@Benjuthulo]

Very good, thank you for posting.

[@hendem999]

Oh I remember some fun homework and lab assignments when I was in college with prolog. Haven't used it since.

[@witchunter]

amazing thank you

[@yvindEide101]

Great video!

[@Htbaa]

This was very interesting. Very cool to see how easy something as logic ports can be done in Prolog. I've already got the book Seven Languages in Seven Weeks, but hadn't reached the Prolog chapter yet. I think I should take a look into that :-).

[@logosfabula]

Lovely, thanks for it.

[@AnuragJ100]

Good

[@neoproject1991]

these pipl were right! :) really good pres.

[@angel_machariel]

Nice demo.Too bad about the recursion though. Would have loved to see the solution without iterative methods. But otherwise very nice introduction to Prolog.

[@permababy]

Her vocal fry is driving me crazy.

[@requitLuv]

I hate prolog 🤬

[@zoup]

is she a girl?
