SWI-Prolog-compatible DCG-ification of Power of Prolog's 'mi_list3' (www.metalevel.at/acomip/)
% The following is a 3-line meta-interpreter for pure Prolog (no
% cuts/negation). It reifies conjunction and dispatch, leaving
% unification and backtracking implicit. It is written for brevity,
% leveraging DCG notation and using lists to denote conjunctions of
% goals. It implements the semantics of a program (in the sense of a
% set of rules or "immediate consequence operator") as the program's
% least fixed point, obtained by "reflexive transitive closure" /
% exponential / "Kleene iteration".

GeoffChurch / cata.pl
Last active May 16, 2023 18:22
Declarative catamorphism with meta-language escapes which can be used e.g. to solve for variable bindings in the codomain.
unescape(\X, X). % Subterms, and in particular logic variables, can be marked as pre-evaluated.
cata(Alg) --> unescape *-> {} ; mapargs(cata(Alg)), call(Alg).
% Example:
alg( 0 + 0, 0).
alg( 0 + 1, 1).
alg( 1 + 0, 1).
alg( 1 + 12, 13).
