prolog VS go-lua

Other resources for logic programming and Go:

ichiban/prolog - ISO Prolog interpreter in pure Go, getting close to v1: https://github.com/ichiban/prolog

trealla-prolog/go - ISO Prolog interpreter embedded via WASM: https://github.com/trealla-prolog/go

guregu/pengine - library for interfacing with Pengines (SWI-Prolog's RPC protocol): https://github.com/guregu/pengine

biscuit-auth/biscuit-go - Biscuits are a fancy auth token with a little Datalog engine: https://github.com/biscuit-auth/biscuit-go

I'm a big fan of logic programming. We've been seeing a small resurgence of interest in it (for example Yarn using Prolog made some waves) and I have some optimism for its future.

fully native Prolog, or embedded? I am very familiar with Go, so I was intrigued to see ichiban/prolog. This might enable me to leverage some existing libraries (GitHub, git, etc) and save Prolog for the logic that drives them.

There have been several Prolog interpreters written in Golang. This one appears to be most active: https://github.com/ichiban/prolog .

For Go, you have prolog as a scripting engine https://github.com/ichiban/prolog

Unless you specifically need a JVM either of these will be a much more practical and mature choice for embedded scripting.

Alternatively if you prefer JS then Otto is a good choice:

Do you know about go-lua? There's a good discussion of various go lua implementations here, including this choice quote:

There are lua and Go-script options. My impression is that a few are well accepted but perhaps just a little less widely used than the first two. I cannot speak from personal experience on them. Shopify has a Lua 5.2 port: https://github.com/Shopify/go-lua and I know https://github.com/bitfield/script is one of the Go-like scripting languages, but I think it's more for a shell script replacement than embedding.

GopherLua [0] is a Lua implementation written in Go, not just a wrapper around the C implementation.

The main alternative seems to be Shopify’s go-lua [1], given that Microsoft’s golua [2] is no longer being developed. The main difference between these three implementations seems to be the supported Lua version - 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 respectively.
