(ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/plan/Life.tar.Z) - Wild_LIFE interpreter from Paradise project at DEC's Paris Research Lab

LIFE is an experimental programming language with a powerful facility for structured type inheritance.

It reconciles styles from functional programming, logic programming, and object-oriented programming.

LIFE implements a constraint logic programming language with equality (unification) and entailment (matching) constraints over order-sorted feature terms.

The Wild_LIFE interpreter has a comfortable user interface with incremental query extension ability.

It contains an extensive set of built-in operations as well as an X Windows interface.

A semantic superset of LOGIN and LeFun.

Syntax is similar to prolog.
