Logos has been accepted into Clojure contrib:
https://github.com/clojure/core.logic.

There's a considerable amount of work still to do but I'm excited to see how
the Clojure community might take advantage of a logic programming library.
Two things I'd like to see:

1) Make it faster (it's pretty darn fast, but I like faster)
2) Use to write Clojure programs/extensions that would otherwise be
unnecessarily difficult to implement

As far as 2, I'm currently brainstorming efficient predicate dispatch, but I
also think there are some opportunities to add an a la carte type system to
Clojure as well.

Feel free to ask any questions- from what I can tell, logic/relational
programming is a paradigm that is not nearly as well known as functional
programming. I'll probably create a step-by-step tutorial soon to help out
on this front.

For over-achievers who just want to dive in two texts make it quite clear
how this library works - The Reasoned Schemer (
http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=10663) and
William Byrd's dissertation (
