MLOG: a strongly typed confluent functional language with logical variables

1994

Poirriez, V., MLOG: a strongly typed confluent functional language with logical variables, Theoretical Computer Science 122 (1994) 201-223. A new programming language called MLOG is introduced. MLOG is a conservative extension of ML with logical variables. To validate our concepts, a compiler named CAML Light FLU0 was implemented. Numerous examples are presented to illustrate the possibilities of MLOG. The pattern matching of ML is kept for X-calculus bindings and an unification primitive is introduced for the logical variables bindings. A suspension mechanism allows cohabitation of pattern-matching and logical variables, Although the evaluation strategy for the application is fixed, the or…
