Algebraic Logic Functional language
ALF

   <language> (ALF) A language by Rudolf Opalla
   <[email protected]> which combines
   {functional programming} and {logic programming} techniques.

   ALF is based on {Horn clause} logic with equality which
   consists of {predicates} and Horn clauses for {logic
   programming}, and functions and equations for {functional
   programming}.  Any functional expression can be used in a
   {goal} literal and arbitrary predicates can occur in
   conditions of equations.  ALF uses {narrowing} and
   {rewriting}.

   ALF includes a compiler to {Warren Abstract Machine} code and
   {run-time support}.
