SYB goes Prolog

  • Article

I am about to finish a short article on SYB in Prolog.

Deadline seems to be in 30 hours from now.

If anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Ralf

  • Abstract

    ``Scrap Your Boilerplate'' (SYB) is an established style of generic
    functional programming. The present paper reconstructs SYB within
    the Prolog language with the help of the univ operator and
    higher-order logic programming techniques. We pay attention to the
    particularities of Prolog. For instance, we deal with traversal of
    non-ground terms. We also develop an alternative model of SYB-like
    traversal based on metaprogramming. This generative, type-driven
    model is also amenable to type-driven optimization.
