   LIFE is an experimental programming language with a powerful
   facility for structured type inheritance.  It reconciles
   styles from functional programming, logic programming, and
   object-oriented programming.  LIFE implements a constraint
   logic programming language with equality (unification) and
   entailment (matching) constraints over order-sorted feature
   terms.  The Wild_LIFE interpreter has a comfortable user
   interface with incremental query extension ability.  It
   contains an extensive set of built-in operations as well as an
   X Windows interface.

   A semantic superset of LOGIN and LeFun.  Syntax is similar to
   prolog.
