  4. logica

    Logica is a logic programming language that compiles to SQL. It runs on DuckDB, Google BigQuery, PostgreSQL and SQLite.

    Interesting; a Google engineer previously published a Datalog variant for BigQuery: https://logica.dev/

    This new language seems similar to differential-Datalog (which is sadly in maintenance mode): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33521561

  5. dex-lang

    Research language for array processing in the Haskell/ML family

  6. wuffs

    Wrangling Untrusted File Formats Safely

  7. prolog

    The only reasonable scripting engine for Go.

    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.

  8. go

    Trealla Prolog embedded in Go using WASM (by trealla-prolog)

  12. zetasql

    ZetaSQL - Analyzer Framework for SQL

    There are even table-valued functions.

    These things are not widespread, and differ by implementation, and the way these are used by clients are copy-and-paste. Something as thoughtful as ZetaSQL https://github.com/google/zetasql does not have mechanisms for structuring (modules, packages, interfaces). SQL will not, cannot evolve into such a direction (or, anything that evolves, will not be recognizable as SQL).

  13. OPA (Open Policy Agent)

    Open Policy Agent (OPA) is an open source, general-purpose policy engine.

    Thanks for sharing Biscuit, I was collecting examples of authentication policy languages.

    Datalog is also the basis for Open Policy Agent https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/ , more specifically it's Rego language which is also implemented in go https://github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/tree/main/rego
