Hey, thx for your answer. I really like to see that you are building upon existing logic languages not totally inventing your own. I think you should market it as that, because many people (like me) have been burned by companies that thought it would be a good idea to invent a completely new language (or even DSL) from scratch.

I think you should also focus on making integration with existing code as easy as possible. I know there even is one of the more research-class PLs that has first-level support for running small prolog-like scripts within other more imperative code. Essentially that is exactly what you guys do, just natively built into the language (which obviously you guys can't do).

Essentially, if the language is simply enough, I'd like to define and build both the facts as well as the logic from within my own programming language, rather than having to use your web-editor or other tooling to get support for syntax and things like that. Then, if I have a usecase where my own language is insufficient or annoying, I can still write "plain" code in your language if needed.
