What is Logica?
Logica is an open source declarative logic programming language for data manipulation. Logica is a successor to Yedalog, a language created at Google earlier.
Why?
Logica is for engineers, data scientists and other specialists who want to use logic programming syntax when writing queries and pipelines to run on BigQuery.
Logica compiles to SQL and gives you access to the power of Google BigQuery engine with the convenience of logic programming syntax. This is useful because BigQuery is magnitudes more powerful than state of the art native logic programming engines.
We encourage you to try Logica, especially if
- you already use logic programming and need more computational power, or
- you use SQL, but feel unsatisfied about its readability, or
- you want to learn logic programming and apply it to processing of Big Data.
In the future we plan to support more SQL dialects and engines.
I have not heard of logic programming. What is it?
Logic programming is a declarative programming paradigm where the program is written as a set of logical statements.
