		inkyoto on July 18, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: What's Prolog like in 2024? I concur, Prolog particularly excels at being an advanced configuration, embeddable DSL that allows one to express system configurations that would otherwise be not easily possible using a bespoke configuration language or a format. I have used an embedded Prolog core to express complex installation configurations in the past with a great success, and I would do it again for the right problem space.

The cluster autoscaler in Kubernetes uses a constraint solver. It's translating configuration against dynamic, and changing state within the cluster.

Using something like an embedded Prolog or miniKenran as the core of a Kubernetes operator is something I've wanted to try my hands on.
