HiTalk

The project is still under development

Objectives.

Standalone compiler + IDE.

Ideas.

1. Enum pseudo entity;

2. HiLog extensions;

Examples.

:- object( type,
            extends( enum )).

    :- enumeration([
        hitalk_type, % :- true (by default)
        prolog_type, % :- true (by default)
        user_type    % :- true (by default)
    ]).

:- end_object.

    :- built_in.

    :- enumeration([
        object , % :- true (by default)
        category, % :- true (by default)
        protocol    % :- true (by default)
    ]).
    

:- end_object.
    
:- object( prolog_type )).
    :- built_in.

    :- enumeration([
        term, % :- true (by default)
    ]).
   
:- end_object.

:- object( term )).
    :- built_in.

    :- enumeration([
        var, % :- true (by default)
        nonvar :- \+ var    
    ]).

:- end_object.

:- object( nonvar )).
    :- built_in.

    :- enumeration([
        atomic, % :- true (by default)
        list,
        compound    
    ]).

:- end_object.

<foo>( Arg_1, ..., Arg_n )
<foo>( Arg_1 | RestArgs )
