This is mostly aimed at @rvirding but anyone who knows Erlang and Prolog well enough can answer, of course.
Here goes: I’d like to dip my toes in logic programming a bit. I don’t want to become an expert in Prolog the programming language, only the logic programming aspect of it.
Can Erlog (Prolog running in Erlang console) can actually run in IEx as well? If not, what exactly must be done so it can run in an Erlang console? Sorry if it’s a naive and dumb question, I don’t aim to become an expert in Erlang and I am looking for a quick-and-easy way.
Any help is appreciated.

An educational web app to teach International Criminal Law. E.g., is such and such Genocide? Why or why not?
My initial Prolog code:
https://github.com/public-law/war-crimes-explorer/blob/master/crimes.pl
SWI Prolog’s s(CASP) is interesting because it has an explain function. Without that, it’ll be a little more work to show how the proof was arrived at.

Wow, tell me more and show me!

I’m now thinking about using Erlog in a web app, presenting a frontend view Phoenix Liveview or a Livebook.

A little late to the party here, but I’ve been tinkering with Erlog inside Livebook for a while now.
Example
Mix.install/2within LB is:dogweather
Ah hah - no problem! Thank you.
rvirding
Yes, @kip beat me to it.
I have not put it in hex. I will get around to it eventually, but for now take it from github.
kip
I believe Robert is saying you need to install it as a GitHub dependency. ie:
{:erlog, githhub: "rvirding/erlog", branch: "develop"}dogweather
Would you happen to know where we could find it? I checked Hex.pm.

Function application, but argument is passed as 1st argument to
then/2. Useful for in-pipeline incantations, especially when the pipeline argument isn’t the 1st.rvirding
Use the
developbranch which contains the latest fixes and improvements. It sometimes takes some times before things make it into themasterbranch. You can usually rely on thedevelopas new developments and work are usually done in other branches.There is now an elixir
Erlogmodule with the same interface as the erlangerlogmodule but with the state as the first argument in the elixir way.What does
then/2do?
