I ordered the book. It's $94 through Borders, but looks to be well worth
it.
It certainly seems to have the flexibility and expressive power required
for an abstract knowledge system. I'll join you in thinking about
implementations.
I'm fundamentally wedded to the Java Virtual Machiine as a runtime
engine, due to its ubiquity and ongoing development. And it probably
makes sense to implement an outer GUI in Java, as well. But for the
internal functions, the choice of language is unclear (to me). What have
you learned from your experiments to date?
