 Visual Prolog is a logical programming language that counts PDC Prolog and Turbo Prolog as predecessors.
The goal of Visual Prolog is to support industrial strength programming of complex knowledge emphasized problems. It supports advanced client-server and three-tier solutions and is especially well suited for dealing with complex knowledge. It is a very powerful and safe programming language combining the very best features of logical, functional and object-oriented programming paradigms in a consistent and elegant way.
Visual Prolog features:
- Logical programming concepts (backtracking, pattern matching)
- Algebraic data types
- A unique object system
- Multi-threading (not supported in the Personal Edition)
- Unicode support
- Automatic memory management (garbage collection)
Visual Prolog is a complete programming environment with:
- Integrated Development Environment
- Compiler
- Linker
- Debugger
The main new features in Visual Prolog are:
- Parametric Polymorphism
- New language constructions (if-then-else; foreach; list comprehension, ...)
- Improved COM support
- Many IDE improvements
The Personal Edition is for non-commercial usage only. It creates EXE and DLL files. There is library support for: file system, console, registry, environment variables and GUI programs.
