@LogicalDash i don't fuck with anyone who doesn't write their games in COBOL

@LogicalDash I opened a PDF once that had a brick breaker game in it...dafq

a few angry AAA devs submit games in C++

because it's inappropriate, see

@LogicalDash If I recall, Swi-Prolog ships with OpenGL bindings. (I might recall wrong -- I might have written those bindings.)

@enkiv2 I heard that Prolog actually does pretty well for parser-driven interactive fiction so don't use it for that

@LogicalDash
DCGs are really nice for writing parsers in, but they're *super* slow.

I had a simple protocol that was generated & parsed by DCGs, but had to ditch the implementation because TCP timed out trying to send a test message to another process on localhost!
