Hi Folks,
The next Jess release will introduce "defmodules." Defmodules can
serve two purposes: 1) they're like namespaces; they let you
explicitly partition your large problem into subproblems without
worrying about collisions between rule or template names. 2) They can
replace control facts or "phases" -- because you can let the rules in
only one module fire at a time.
I'm looking at a few different designs, and as part of this process I
wanted to open the floor to suggestions. What features of defmodules
are important to you? How important is CLIPS syntax compatibility? ( I
personally think parts of the CLIPS defmodule concept are somewhat
clumsy, and wouldn't mind doing something cleaner.) Any other
comments?
Also: the next version will be Jess6.0b1. If you've noticed any bugs
that you haven't gotten around to telling me about, please let us know
now!
