Re: Announcement: Homage to SWI-Prolog

Hi Jan,

Yes, it all starts to work together! The combination of Prolog and the
web is extremely interesting, and I have lots of ideas for how to
extend the technology behind SWISH in various directions, not only
related to education. My next project is likely to be the building of
an adminstrative interface to the Prolog web service, similar to the
one we had in SWAPP, but better. In my mind, SWISH is just a
demonstration of what can be done given such a service.

I'm sure some of the stuff in SWISH can be merged with both Carlo's
work and your work on CodeMirror. I wasn't aware of Ulrich's gupu, but
will take a look asap.

Best,
Torbjörn
