Dogelog Player is a Prolog system for the
targets JavaScript, Python and Java. It is a mongrel,
half formerly Jekejeke Prolog and half X-Prolog ZIP.
Concerning program sharing (PS) it offers a
compromise between full sharing in Jekejeke Prolog
and no-sharing in X-Prolog ZIP.

Without extra syntax like tuple (x1,..,xn) versus
list [x1,..,xn] we now have frozen Prolog terms
in Dogelog Player. They are beneficial for the
garbage collector and provide safer mutations.
Regression testing shows that our compilation
schemes don’t affect the runtime.
