SYB goes Prolog
I am about to finish a short article on SYB in Prolog.
Deadline seems to be in 30 hours from now.
If anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Ralf

``Scrap Your Boilerplate'' (SYB) is an established style of generic
functional programming. The present paper reconstructs SYB within
the Prolog language with the help of the univ operator and
higher-order logic programming techniques. We pay attention to the
particularities of Prolog. For instance, we deal with traversal of
non-ground terms. We also develop an alternative model of SYB-like
traversal based on metaprogramming. This generative, type-driven
model is also amenable to type-driven optimization.Keywords
