About:
GNU Prolog is a mature, standalone Prolog compiler that includes a robust constraint solving engine. It supports both native code compilation for high performance and a robust bytecode interpreter. Its key value is providing a powerful, free, and open-source environment for logic programming and constraint logic programming.
Key Features:
  • Native code compilation for optimized performance
  • Robust constraint solving engine (CLP)
  • Interactive command-line debugger
  • Portable across multiple operating systems
Use Cases:
  • Developing expert systems and AI applications
  • Solving complex combinatorial and optimization problems
  • Teaching and researching logic programming paradigms
Alternatives:
  • SWI-Prolog – SWI-Prolog is often preferred for web/server applications and has a larger ecosystem of libraries, while GNU Prolog is known for its standalone compiler and constraint solver.
