Re: Announcement: Homage to SWI-Prolog

Thanks Anne, glad you like it!

Yes, I too believe that the Prolog web-api as such is the most
interesting and valuable part of the app. There are still some bugs,
but I think the approach is the right one. Building on work that Jan
and I did years ago, it took me a long time and more than a few gray
hairs to find a workable solution that allowed read/1-ing and
write/1-ing as well as backtracking over HTTP.

I'll let the list know when there is a permanent version.

Best,
Torbjörn
