i'm reposting this as it seems to have bounced back...
-----------------
thanks to all of you who told me about prolog interpreters for the ibm... but
i'm curious, no responses came from the us and a great number of articles on
comp.lang.prolog aren't from the us.... why? i'm just leaarning prolog and it
is by far one of the most interesting languages i've learned. i'm also
surprised that prolog isn't used as an introductory language, on a small level
it seems quite simple and can model everyday things with ease.... somehow
making a program that models "mary likes all animals except snakes." seems
more interesting than making a program that reads your name and then says
"hello, <name>."

any good reasons for this besides being hung up on von-neuman architecture and
unwillingness to change?
