Your eagerness to dismiss everything but your own product clouds your progress.
- nested linked list as the fundamental data structure
Maybe under the hood it is. If so, this is a quite well
hidden prolog implementation detail.
Trees and other graphs are handled easily in prolog.
- using non-data independent references What do you mean?
- lack of complete normalization
What do you mean?
- inability to use functions (not function outputs) as parameters, meta-data
This is simply not true.
The examples you gave were not specific enough.
Maybe the way it is done in prolog (meta-programming)
is not the way you need to go about - but you don't yet
have the facts to judge this.
- etc
Hmm. Not much left of this list. Care to elaborate?

It is important to find a good way of stating requirements. Up to now I don't think you have found it. Received on Sat Apr 29 2006 - 13:40:19 CEST
