And one other thing: just because early Prolog interpreters were implemented on punchcards doesn't mean that Prolog programs run by those interpreters needed to be. It's quite possible that basically nobody ever wrote Prolog p

By 1979 at the latest -- probably closer to 1975 -- the primary Prolog implementation of the day (Warren's DEC-10 version) had an interpreter, where you could load files of code in and modify the code and you had a REPL with the abilit

Languages like Prolog just don't offer that sort of freedom. Yes, they do -- that's why people have enjoyed using such languages. It might help to think of them as being like very-high-level scripting-languages with more rigorou

ROFL. Like Lisp and Smalltalk, Prolog was used primarily in the 1980s, so it was run on Unix workstations and also, to some extent, on PCs. (There were even efforts to create hardware designed to run Prolog a la Lisp machines.) And, like Li

FYI, the term was first used in Britain in 1750, according to the term's Wikipedia page[0], which discusses how the term was used in different countries in a neutral way until about 1860 in Germany, at which point it was used in a more

That's not likely to be a problem since these days every board game has a number of instructional videos (and that's in addition to video reviews, which typically show how a game works, though not in as much detail).
