A small introduction to logic programming

Logic programming is a paradigm that uses facts and rules to represent and execute computer programs, with Prolog being the first and most recognized logic programming language. While not as widely known as other paradigms, logic programming is particularly prominent in artificial intelligence applications. Key concepts include facts, which are true statements about a domain, rules for making inferences, and queries for asking questions, with unification solidifying the equality of objects. The summary discusses Prolog's setup on different systems, including using Homebrew on Mac, and provides examples such as defining relationships with facts and rules, exploring recursion, and finding paths in graphs. The text also mentions variable immutability and offers examples of practical applications in Prolog, highlighting its unique approach to problem-solving without loops, relying instead on recursion and unification. Additionally, it references related resources for further learning, including live stream episodes on logic and functional programming.
