Temperance is a logic programming library for Common Lisp.

**Temperance is still in development, don't actually try to use this for
anything important yet.**

![I don't know what that means](https://i.imgur.com/EWPGAHa.gif)

Temperance is an implementation of the [Warren Abstract Machine][wam] in Common
Lisp, designed to let you write Lispy Prolog.  Its main goals are:

* Be fast.
* Implement a decent subset of vanilla Prolog.
* Execute quickly.
* Interop back and forth with Common Lisp.
* Don't be slow.

Temperance was made with [General Game Playing][ggp] in mind (hence the focus on
performance), but should be useful for anything you might normally use Prolog
for.
