SWI-Prolog

The abundance of programming languages and their diverse characteristics means that following a probabilistic logic, there might always be a right one for a certain task. The specificity of each makes working with different languages a quite demanding process in terms of the entailed software requirements. Addressing a language that is hailing from the basics of logic and being associated with AI and computational linguistics, SWI-Prolog offers a compact yet capable development environment, which is both streamlined, as it is highly functional.

The application features a quite minimalist interface, which aside from its menus, basically has no other additional on-screen commands or buttons. The added text strings do not feature syntax highlighting.

Users have access to a variety of processes that can be initialized using the included compiler, therefore enabling them to perform a multitude of tasks without exerting too much of a load on their system’s resources, thanks to the fast compiling.

Aside from the aforementioned compiler module, the application also comes packed with a multitude of other useful tools, which address a wide range of commonly used processes and tasks.

One will be able to work with C or C++, index both static and dynamic code on multiple arguments, perform cross-referencing on Prolog data, and even output instruction statistics through the included execution profiler.

SWI-Prolog addresses those who require a specialized editor for editing and managing their Prolog code database, and it offers a comprehensive collection of tools whose scope goes far beyond that of just a plain IDE.
