Logtalk is a declarative logic programming language that extends Prolog with the structure that large programs need. Plain Prolog is elegant for small programs, but bigger projects can get tangled. Logtalk adds objects, protocols, categories and clear encapsulation on top of standard Prolog, so you can split a program into parts with clean boundaries and reuse code with confidence. It runs as a layer over a Prolog system you already have, rather than replacing it.

Key Features

• Objects, classes, prototypes and protocols give Prolog code clear structure and data hiding
• Works with most modern Prolog systems as the back end compiler, so you keep your favourite engine
• Portable libraries cover common tasks, from data structures to testing and documentation
• Developer tools include debugging, testing, diagram and documentation help written in Logtalk itself
• Distributed under a business friendly open licence, with full manuals and many worked examples

How to Download

1. Download from the official site to get the current stable release from logtalk.org.
2. Make sure a supported Prolog system is installed on your Mac, since Logtalk needs one to run.
3. Run the Logtalk installer, then start Logtalk from the command line shortcut for your chosen Prolog back end.

System Requirements

Logtalk runs on Mac, Windows and Linux and needs a compatible Prolog system installed first. It is written in highly portable code, so system demands are modest and set mostly by the Prolog back end you choose.

FAQs

Do I need to know Prolog before learning Logtalk?

It helps a lot. Logtalk extends Prolog and uses its syntax, so a basic grasp of Prolog gives you a quick start, and the site offers tutorials and examples.

Which Prolog systems can Logtalk use?

Logtalk supports many back ends, including widely used systems such as SWI Prolog and GNU Prolog. The official site lists the full set of supported systems.

Is Logtalk free to use?

Yes. Logtalk is open source under the Apache Licence 2.0, which also allows use in commercial projects.
