Show HN: Vibe Prolog

  • Here's an idea.

    There have been over a dozen commits in the last 2 hours. If you are actually "vibe coding" a Prolog, then post the prompts you have used in the last 2 hours here.

    If it helps to have a specific starting point, commit 7bbe652[0] is as good as any.

  • What are the odds :) I made this two weeks ago, also with Claude.

    This one's a straight port, paip-python's[0] Prolog interpreter. (Itself based on Norvig's Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming book, originally in Lisp.)[1]

    https://github.com/a-n-d-a-i/prolog.js

    It was in the web ui, so I expected it to give me a code block, but it spun up a vm, set up a npm project, generated tests... ran them. I was quite surprised.

    Your version is the opposite of mine, in a very good way. Your one is mostly tests! My version's tests are... well, you'll see ;)

    Both are surprisingly short. 700-ish for mine, ~1200-ish for yours (as far as the actual interpreter goes), right?

    That seems like a lot of bang per buck for something as powerful as a Prolog interpreter! I don't know very much about Prolog though, so maybe there's a lot of crucial parts missing here.

    At any rate the original is a teaching device, and the book[1] goes into some length on the limitations of Prolog, both this version and in general.

  • If the project is about testing Claude's capabilities, the prompts will be more interesting to have.

  • Have you considered asking for a version in assembly?
