Started working on a prolog backend for coil. Here's an example of compiling a coil program to prolog & exploring the codebase via prolog repl. This is early but the hope is to have an easily explorable codebase, to really treat the codebase as a database. Ambition for this is • Allow users of coil to write their own rules in prolog to ensure things about the program • Make writing a type checker easier for me • Make writing tooling for coil easier
Talking to others I realized I'm giving the wrong idea by talking about types here. I'm not very interested in building a full fledged type system, but a very powerful constraint/linter system that end users can easily extend.
