A Functional Programming Approach to Deductive Databases
Summary: PFL is a persistent functional language for deductive databases, combining higher-order, lazy, typed functions with stored equations. Its selectors enable nested updatable values and invertible rules; supports n-ary relations and purely functional querying with on-disk storage. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
