This is the official repository for the Soufflé language project. The Soufflé language is similar to Datalog (but has terms known as records), and is frequently used as a domain-specific language for analysis problems.
-
Efficient translation to parallel C++ of Datalog programs (CAV'16, CC'16)
-
Efficient interpretation using de-specialization techniques (PLDI'21)
-
Specialized data structure for relations (PACT'19, PPoPP'19, PMAM'19) with optimal index selection (VLDB'18)
-
Extended semantics of Datalog, e.g., permitting unbounded recursions with numbers and terms
-
Simple component model for Datalog specifications
-
Recursively defined record types/ADTs (aka. constructors) for tuples
-
User-defined functors
-
Strongly-typed types for safety
-
Subsumption
-
Aggregation
-
Choice Construct (APLAS'21)
-
Extended I/O system for relations (including SQLITE3 interfaces)
-
C++/SWIG interfaces
-
Provenance/Debugging (TOPLAS'20)
-
Profiling tools
