    Hi,

    Just a quick take on the Prolog pulse:

    - SWI-Prolog: Dead Horse, LISP / MeTTa is it.

    - Scyer: Dead Horse, no core commits

    - Ciao Prolog: Dead Horse, no core commits

    - Who else?

    So I guess its back to Strawberry Prolog for teaching!

    They are also building AGI:

    Hi,

    Spies and Playboys: Don't use insecure E-mail.
    Its too much laugh for everybody:

    A woman's history of vaginal orgasm is discernible from her walk. https://www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA02421406?view=inbox

    Cudos to whoever did that(*), it has even PDF
    backlings, like this here;

    A woman's history of vaginal orgasm is discernible from her walk https://assets.getkino.com/documents/EFTA02421406.pdf

    P.S.: Who did it:

    The Jmail Suite
    https://www.jmail.world/about#built-by

    P.P.S.: Eurpeans be careful using USA E-mail.

    Hi,

    How it started:

    TPTP World Anthem [The TPTP World Needs Money] https://drive.google.com/file/d/1otJ8FxCiwVTIMoEDMW98puuTKIUH7BYF/view?pli=1

    How its going:

    ANTHEM 2.0: Automated Reasoning for Answer Set Programming https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theory-and-practice-of-logic-programming/article/anthem-20-automated-reasoning-for-answer-set-programming/69D4B6430617A334906A99F787FA2727

    Bye

    P.S.: Would be fine if the TPTP sublanguages, were
    lean, just some operator definitions, and not some
    bloathed nonsense. Going such a Lean path would

    allow to stay in the ISO core standard, instead of
    inventing one new language after the other, Gringo,
    who knows what, with horrible eval semantics of

    (=)/2 and silly (=>)/2 rules for example in Picat.
    Also translating ASP to FOL, when there are no
    cardinality heads, is rather trivial.

    Hi,

    Another example of a Dead Horse, Gecode,
    no commit for 7 years:

    https://github.com/Gecode/gecode

    So what is it, a historical footnote? Why
    does research not produce little

    ISO core standard capsules, that I can
    run even with Strawberry Prolog?

    Bye

    P.S.: So the real ANTHEM is:

    Guns N' Roses - Dead Horse

    Hi,

    Just a quick take on the golang pulse:

    How it started:

    A Comparative Study of Language Implementations https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2502.01651

    How its going:

    Co-Creator of Go Language is Rightly Furious https://itsfoss.com/news/rob-pike-furious/

    Rob Pike going bonkers over AI.

    See especially, ca factor 4x-5x behind:

    Go < Julia < Rust < C < Zig < Mojo < C++
    (a): Average tokens per second for stories15M.bin model

    Go < Julia < Rust < Zig < C < C++ < Mojo
    (c): Average tokens per second for stories42M.bin model

    So I guess its back to Fortran.
