Ckini

A miniKanren implementation in Elixir.

Usage

  defmodule Demo do
    import Ckini
    alias Ckini.Var

    def readme_demo do
      run {x, y, z} do
        # simple goal
        eq(y, 1)
        # a conde goal
        conde do
          _ -> eq(y, 2)
          _ -> eq(z, 3)
          _ -> eq(x, 4)
        end
        # you can create logic variable with fresh
        fresh t do
          eq(x, [y, z, t, "hello"])
        end
      end
    end
  end

  test "demo in README should work correctly" do
    assert [{[1, 3, :_0, "hello"], 1, 3}] == Demo.readme_demo()
  end

API available: run/2, run/3, eq (===), neq (=/=), cond{e,i,a,u}, match{e,i,a,u}, all, project, succ, fail, symbolo, absento, copy_termo, anyo, onceo.

Check out the https://github.com/shouya/ckini/blob/master/test/*_test.exs for more usage examples.

Feature highlights

• arithmetic operators (See Ckini.Arithmetic)
• introduction of fresh variables via cond{e,i,a,u}
• pattern matching with match{e,i,a,u} macros
• inequality (neq) constraint
• symbolo constraint
• absento constraint
