Prolog is still the best query language out there. If it had as much attention as other languages like python or javascript, we'd have some real space-age programming systems.

- bminor13 4y agoMy only short exposure to Prolog was trying to implement custom submission rules in Gerrit. It made an utter fool out of me at every turn - it really seemed like an insane interface, compared to e.g. a Python or Javascript function that could be user-implemented. I get the feeling there's more to Prolog than I was able to unlock - can you recommend any reference materials for beginners?
