    Hi,

    When did the quantum leap happen in Dogelog Player?
    Well very early on: The first binary release was here:

    ANN: Dogelog Player 0.9.7
    The new version 0.9.7 of the Dogelog
    player now masters DCG.
    Admin User, created 09/06/2025

    And '$YIELD'/1 stuff came 9 months (sic!) later:

    ANN: Dogelog Player 0.9.8
    The Dogelog Player supports a new interpreter
    that can relinquish control.
    Admin User, created 21/03/2022

    9 months, like Homo sapiens gestation period. (*)

    LoL

    Bye

    (*) To be frank, it was the perfect pass time during
    the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Not my problem not seeking the state of the art. You
    need of course a Prolog system that is all flesh
    and blood cooperative multitasking. If you want

    to do a GUI in Prolog similar like JavaScript
    does it now, or a native GUI adapter. And I don't
    count Tau-Prolog, although they showed amazing

    stuff. But not amazing enough, still based
    on continuations, and not based on promises. Or then
    async/await. I am not sure what SWI WASM now delivers?

    SWI Tinker shows me errors talking about threads when
    I use the query background execution feature and if I
    abort. But people from cooperative multitasking tend

    to not use the terminology "thread", they prefer to
    talk about "tasks". Ciao Playground doesn't count either,
    since their channels to a background worker can even

    not process an interrupt correctly.

    P.S.: Meanwhile I am struggling with Quantum Paper
    whille doing a dark/light CSS. Look my light olive turned dark
    olive, that is somewhere near chocolate or is it dog shit?

    P.P.S.: Just figured out yesterday that some browser defaults
    are more Motif/OSF than Material/Google, aka Quantum Paper.

    I wasted a half dozen months with simulated
    “threads” by using CheerpJ. This was a very
    interesting experience, I could run formerly
    Jekejeke Prolog written in Java inside JavaScript.

    Main problem a simulation of “threads” cannot
    use certain GUI programming patterns from
    JavaScript. Because then you have still pre-emptive
    yield, like if you do it with auto-yield.

    But in JavaScript you have critical regions
    for free, just between two awaits, there will
    be no yield. Such properties might impact how
    you model your “concurrent” logic.

    This puts some weight on having a shield/1
    primitive. The CheerpJ threads were not that
    bad, I added auto yield, but shield/1 is a
    later invention from Dogelog Player.
