• Ciao Playground debugger looks quite cute now! (Was: PrologNecronomicon: Write an Interactive Debugger!)

    Hi,

    Just click on the "Ladybug":
    https://ciao-lang.org/playground/

    Somehow the source highlighting
    during debugging works better than in SWISH.

    Bye

    P.S.: Now I am drawing inspiration.
    So in the top-level answer substitution
    there are no debugger options, and it

    goes back to creep? Well thats also possible.

    We recently started porting formerly Jekejeke
    Prolog to the 100% Prolog Novacore from Dogelog
    Player. The current state is that formerly Jekejeke
    Prolog is now 50% Prolog, and we are continuing
    the transformation.

    Formerly Jekejeke Prolog did have a natively
    written Interactive Debugger. Dogelog Player
    does not yet have an Interactive Debugger. So we
    started an experiment of writing a non-native
    Interactive Debugger.

    Our pathological examination of formerly Jekejeke
    Prolog lead to an Interactive Debugger that can
    handle cuts, but that is also smart enough to
    switch from 4-Port model to 2-Port model. We will
    mostlikely ship it, despite some loose ends like
    hiding system and library details.

    Dogelog Player is a Prolog system that is written
    in 100% Prolog. Formerly Jekejeke Prolog was a
    Prolog system that was written in 100% Java. We
    created a new version of Jekejeke Prolog that
    has 50% Prolog from Dogelog Player and is
    still multi-threaded.

    We trashed everything beyond the core of Jekejeke
    Prolog and adopted the Dogelog Player libraries
    and top-level, even library(markup) works! The
    new Jekejeke Prolog is significantly slower than
    Dogelog Player, almost a factor two. But it can still
    serve for some cherry picking.
