interpreter from Paradise project at DEC's Paris Research Lab
LIFE is an experimental programming language with a powerful
facility for structured type inheritance. It reconciles
styles from functional programming, logic programming, and
object-oriented programming. LIFE implements a constraint
logic programming language with equality (unification) and
entailment (matching) constraints over order-sorted feature
terms. The Wild_LIFE interpreter has a comfortable user
interface with incremental query extension ability. It
contains an extensive set of built-in operations as well as an
X Windows interface.
A semantic superset of LOGIN and LeFun. Syntax is similar to
prolog.
