Hi,

Our new library silkworm for predicate tabling tries
to do the same, as the library railgun for finite
domain constraints. Namely provide a portable library
that is only based on the ISO core standard. Due to
a series of recent improvements of Dogelog Player
the tabling directive is now competitive.

While we reach similar performance like SWI-Prolog
for Datalog examples, our system parallels the
XSB-Prolog performance for non-Datalog examples.
What is missing are non-wellfounded forms of
recursion and polymorphic adornments. We are
currently working on addressing both issues.

Bye
