UNIFORM - A Language Based Upon Unification Which Unifies (much of) LISP, PROLOG, and ACT 1.
Ken Kahn · 1981
Uniform is an AI programming language under development based upon augmented unification. It is an attempt to combine, in a simple coherentframework, the most important features of Lisp, actor languages such as Act 1 and SmallTalk, and logic programming languages such as Prolog. Among the unusual abilities of the language is its ability to use the same program as a function, an inverse function, a predicate, a pattern, or a generator. All of these uses can be performed upon concrete, symbolic, and partially instantiated data. Uniform features automatic inheritance from multiple 3uper classes, facilities for manipulation of programs, a limited ability to determine program
