Mythical IASON was the guy who steared his ship, the Argo, together with 50 brave women and men, between life and death. Iason was a king, not a skipper. He had to learn. He did become the best skipper in history. He and his crew had seen things that no man has seen before - that no women will see again. wikipedia

IASON is an idea, just like a firewall is a concept. Just like IASON did have no idea how to stear a ship,
IASON does not have an idea how to run a NOC. Nor do I.

That is why thinking about IASON is thinking about artificial intelligence. That is why IASON output is often prolog. Lisp is the machine language of artificial intelligence. Lisp backwards - forth or postscript would be modern languages of choice. I dont write assembly language any longer. Dont talk about Basic. I remember a robot slamming a wall because Microsoft Basic started "Garbage collection" when the wall came into sensor range. It never finished! That was in Intel 8080 days when Gary Kildall was still alive and every computer was running CP/M. That was long before SCO started fighting the world including itself.
Let us talk about Prolog.

Tabarnak!

La naissance de Prolog, avec Philippe Roussel. Brouillon de : The birth of Prolog , dans History of Programming Languages, édité par Thomas J.Bergin et Richard G.Gibson, ACM Press/Addison-Wesley, 1996. Résumé. Le langage de programmation Prolog est né d'un projet, dont le but n'était pas de faire un langage de programmation mais de traiter les langages naturels, en l'occurrence le Québecois. That is why the front page had to be in french - and that will be the only french or prolog for quite some time to come. Pas si vite!

Prolog statements make good friends with grep and sort.Shell scripts are the sysops best friends.
IASON will make the sysop happy!

IASON is initialy implemented by Peter Dambier
