		pjmlp 6 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: My Gripes with Prolog When I did my degree in Software Engineering, logic programming (with Tarsky's World), and Programming with Prolog were required classes. There were only two prevalent attitudes, some of us really loved FP (me included), others hated it and could hardly wait to get it done. Somehow there was a similar overlap with those of us that enjoyed going out of mainstream languages, and those that rather stay with Pascal and C.

Yeah that sounds like me too. Prolog became a fetish a few years ago. I used it intensely for 2 years, wrote a lot about it, until it became a part of me. Its intangible what it does to you, but its the dual of what you might expect.
