Abstract. Probabilistic programming (PP) is available in two different variants: imperative/functional and logic. These two variants have com-plementary strengths and mostly separate communities. In this talk I will discuss how most strengths of inference for imperative/functional PP can be included in PLP. Moreover, I will show that PLP is particu-larly suitable for inductive reasoning.
