Lojban as a prolog interface ? (was: Re: lojban as a programming language)



Well, the subject says it all...

I don't know much about prolog, but I think it'd be usefull to have prolog parse sentences and store them in a facts database possibly using RDBMS persistence. The stored facts could then be used to infer answers to specific questions. This is very high level intuition at this stage, but I guess one could rather easily build useful systems to help people recall a good recipe with a number of constraints for example, or a friend's birthdate, or even be notified of external events if we provide some kind of interface to RSS streams, etc,...

As AFAIK prolog's syntax stems from the same principles as lojban, one could think of lojban as a /user interface/ to a prolog system rather than design a new programming language from scratch.
