LIFE is an experimental programming language with a powerfulfacility for structured type inheritance. It reconcilesstyles from functional programming, logic programming, andobject-oriented programming. LIFE implements a constraintlogic programming language with equality (unification) andentailment (matching) constraints over order-sorted featureterms. The Wild_LIFE interpreter has a comfortable userinterface with incremental query extension ability. Itcontains an extensive set of built-in operations as well as anX Windows interface.

A semantic superset of LOGIN and LeFun. Syntax is similar toprolog.
