Well now, Mr Brown...

I don't now remember how I came upon MiniKanren but one of the first 
things I read about it was the wikipedia article

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiniKanren

which, early on, has a link (supposedly) to something called relational 
programming.  But of you click on that link you'll find that it 
redirects to the article on logic programming.  I know, more or less, 
what logic programming is, but I am left in the dark about relational 
programming.
