@gonzH apologies. The everyo -> everyg rename was not in alpha1, I've released alpha2 which should show up on the maven repos in 24 hours or so. In the meantime you can use core.logic master.

@cjauvin, it's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish. project will walk a variable, get it's value, and give it a local name. You'll have an internal representation of core.logic intervals for which the Clojure arithmetic operators don't work.

I am not trying to accomplish anything in particular, apart from simply trying to understand the small example you gave in one of your comments on the HN thread (which has proven to be surprinsingly harder than I assumed, perhaps due to the fact that my Prolog skills are farther than I thought, and/or that the CL doc is rather sparse for the moment). In particular, I wanted to understand how to reverse the goal (i.e. find the triples for which x + y != z). My first attempt was to use the "disequality" contraint, but since I could not make sense of its result:

(run* [q]
    (fresh [x y z]
        (infd x y z (interval 1 3))
        (+fd x y z)
        (!= q [x y z])))
;; => ((_.0 :- (!= _.0 [<lvar:x_4549> <lvar:y_4550> <lvar:z_4551>])))

my second attempt was the code I posted earlier (using "project"). I now understand that an interval is a special CL object that does not interoperate with normal Clojure arithmetic ops, and I guess it means I would have to write a function similar to "+fd", but unfortunately that's where it stops for me, as I simply cannot understand its source code for the moment.

@cjauvin

  (run* [q]
    (fresh [x y z n]
      (infd x y z n (interval 1 3))
      (+fd x y n)
      (!=fd z n)
      (== q [x y z])))

Is probably what you want.

It makes good sense.. many thanks! I guess I'll have no other choice than to go through The Reasoned Schemer, to go deeper.

Hey David, where did "infd" go? It's nowhere to be found in the master branch. thx!

@postspectacular - it's in clojure.core.logic.fd now. Here's an updated version that I've been using in my core.logic talks:
