Coral++: Adding Object-Orientation to a Logic Database Language

Summary: Coral++ integrates Coral with the C++ type system to store C++ objects as facts and to embed C++ expressions in rules. An imperative, C++-driven update sub-language and external C++ methods show OO features can be integrated orthogonally to storage. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
