In a long forgotten past a large part of my graduation was Prolog (I was as far ahead then as i'm behind now with the ol' AI thing; I worked on mixing neural nets, reasoning with uncertainty with Prolog at the time) and, after hallucinatory episodes living, sleeping, (day)dreaming in Prolog for months on end, when something was finished I was always so surprised how clean, readable and 'too little' the code looked for what it did. Once you really grok it, it's a magic tool. I replaced it with Common Lisp after (in my uni, there was no mention of Lisp; we didn't even know it existed basically besides some weird scribbles in papers which were easy enough to study so we didn't give it more thought) and have the same feelings/experiences there but CL is usable for basically anything, including logic programming.
