No, not really. A lisp in 99 lines of C would barely be useful. In contrast, Prolog mostly shines where you need reasoning/unification over a database of facts

No, not really. A lisp in 99 lines of C would barely be useful. In contrast, Prolog mostly shines where you need reasoning/unification over a database of facts -happens pretty often,- but that's just too easily expressed in any proper functional language. And with a bit more pain in an imperative/OO language.
