  • Learn Datalog Today

    One of the easiest to get started on Datalog in my opinion is really clingo https://potassco.org/clingo/ , which can be pip installed and has python bindings. Answer Set Programming goes beyond datalog, but it holds datalog semantics as a sublanguage. It is unfortunate this is not well advertised.

  • Modern SAT solvers: fast, neat and underused (2018)
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 May 2023
    Love this article and the push to build awareness of what modern SAT solvers can do.

    The thing it misses, though, is that there are higher level abstractions that are far more accessible than SAT. If I were teaching a course on this, I would start with either Answer Set Programming or Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT). The most widely used solvers for those are clingo [0] and Z3 [1]:

    With ASP, you write in a much clearer Prolog-like syntax that does not require nearly as much encoding effort as your typical SAT problem. Z3 is similar -- you can code up problems in a simple Python API, or write them in the smtlib language.

    Both of these make it easy to add various types of optimization, constraints, etc. to your problem, and they're much better as modeling languages than straight SAT. Underneath, they have solvers that leverage all the modern CDCL tricks.

    We wrote up a paper [2] on how to formulate a modern dependency solver in ASP; it's helped tremendously for adding new types of features like options, variants, and complex compiler/arch dependencies to Spack [3]. You could not get good solutions to some of these problems without a capable and expressive solver.

    Answer Set Programming is an incredibly powerful tool to declaratively solve combinatorial problems. Clingo is one of the best open source implementations in my opinion: https://github.com/potassco/clingo
