27synopsis: "ELPI - Embeddable λProlog Interpreter"
28description: """
29ELPI implements a variant of λProlog enriched with Constraint Handling Rules,
30a programming language well suited to manipulate syntax trees with binders.
31
32ELPI is designed to be embedded into larger applications written in OCaml as
33an extension language. It comes with an API to drive the interpreter and
34with an FFI for defining built-in predicates and data types, as well as
35quotations and similar goodies that are handy to adapt the language to the host
36application.
37
38This package provides both a command line interpreter (elpi) and a library to
39be linked in other applications (eg by passing -package elpi to ocamlfind).
40
41The ELPI programming language has the following features:
42
43- Native support for variable binding and substitution, via an Higher Order
44 Abstract Syntax (HOAS) embedding of the object language. The programmer needs
45 not to care about De Bruijn indexes.
46
47- Native support for hypothetical context. When moving under a binder one can
48 attach to the bound variable extra information that is collected when the
49 variable gets out of scope. For example when writing a type-checker the
50 programmer needs not to care about managing the typing context.
51
52- Native support for higher order unification variables, again via HOAS.
53 Unification variables of the meta-language (λProlog) can be reused to
54 represent the unification variables of the object language. The programmer
55 does not need to care about the unification-variable assignment map and
56 cannot assign to a unification variable a term containing variables out of
57 scope, or build a circular assignment.
58
59- Native support for syntactic constraints and their meta-level handling rules.
60 The generative semantics of Prolog can be disabled by turning a goal into a
61 syntactic constraint (suspended goal). A syntactic constraint is resumed as
62 soon as relevant variables gets assigned. Syntactic constraints can be
63 manipulated by constraint handling rules (CHR).
64
65- Native support for backtracking. To ease implementation of search.
66
67- The constraint store is extensible. The host application can declare
68 non-syntactic constraints and use custom constraint solvers to check their
69 consistency.
70
71- Clauses are graftable. The user is free to extend an existing program by
72 inserting/removing clauses, both at runtime (using implication) and at
73 "compilation" time by accumulating files.
74
