I am looking for a version of prolog that can be run in JavaScript in a browser. That is I want to be able to use prolog to embed logical operations in a javascript web application

    A very interesting question, originally asked by false over here. (Notice that questions that are not of the form "How do I do X?" are considered "not constructive" on SO.) Commented Mar 22, 2015 at 16:10

    Just to mention "javascript" is probably not enough to narrow it down. Here's a question about executing a shell command from javascript. If you can do that, then you could execute a Prolog interpreter. But most or all of the concerns and conditions mentioned in the linked question/answers apply. Commented Mar 22, 2015 at 17:05

    How about Pengines? pengines.swi-prolog.org/docs/index.html Not exactly what you are looking for but should be able to do the job... Commented Mar 22, 2015 at 17:30

    As Boris states, Pengines would probably be your best bet. Commented Apr 8, 2015 at 12:54

It's relatively easy to implement a prolog-like in languages that support generators. If you can use es6, you might find the implementation here interesting: https://curiosity-driven.org/prolog-interpreter

The first example of this I came across only worked on firefox but was called yield prolog: http://yieldprolog.sourceforge.net/
