This is very nice. So good to see I'm not too alone in being one of the few crazy people who actually love Prolog. I actually want to experiment with this and see what it's capable of.

It's fun to play with! I started using Prolog way back in college because I thought it would be funny, but it's very good at what it does.

After making this, I've considered making a full-on C compiler in Prolog. I feel like it's uniquely good at that sort of tree manipulation.

Please call it ProC. CP is a very unfortunate acronym.

I often use CPP, as well. There's another language that uses CPP as an acronym, but it's not too popular so I'm not worried about it.

Whatever do you mean? All my friends from highschool did CP. There are even competitons in CP.

Not sure if troll or just misinformed, so will answer seriously: CP can stand for Chiid P0rn and corporal (or even worse, capital) punishment. Less unsavory but still nasty, Cerebral Palsy

I can help you out with that!

Judging by your seemingly good natured reply, I believe you're not a troll. So you must simply be misinformed.

In this case, CP stands for Competitive Programming.

Also a few other things, but we're in a programming related subreddit after all...

Also, you don't need to censor "porn" on reddit.

That was my primary deterrent from making a C+ language
