ANN: Dogelog Player 1.2.1 (Lite Notebooks)

Admin User, created Jul 23. 2024

Dear All,

We are happy to announce a new edition of the Dogelog player:

- Native Sorting:
  Our efforts to deliver faster sorting in 100% Prolog have come to nothing.  So we decided to implement sort/2 and keysort/2 natively for the different target platforms.  This new sorting is competitive with other Prolog systems.

- Metronome Collector:
  What we hadn't taken into account was that the native sorting requires fewer variable instantiations, which then messed up our garbage collection trigger conditions so that garbage was left behind.  We were finally able to solve the problem with a better metronome garbage collector.

- Lite Notebooks:
  Our original idea was to replicate Knuth’s idea of literate programming for the web. Diverting slightly from the batch processing approach, we recently arrived at a new more online approach of lite notebooks. We view HTML pages with a simple Prolog code embedding as pre-elements as the primary source. These pages are amenable to any HTML tooling.

Have Fun!
