This will be really funny, until you remember 99% of current super hyped AI stuff is running on Python (slrpnk.net)

Every old timer knows AI is supposed to be written in Prolog.

Love a language that doesn't care if you're using inputs to get outputs or using outputs to get inputs

One of the guys who taught me Prolog wrote the book: https://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/lehre/SS09/KI/folien/merritt.pdf

But there is one other, probably even more important advantage: Prolog is a programmer's and software engineer's dream. It is compact, highly readable, and arguably the "most structured" language of them all. Not only has it done away with virtually all control flow statements, but even explicit variable assignment too! These virtues are certainly reason enough to base not only systems but textbooks on this language.

The 90s certainly were a different time...

I highly recommend learning the language. You learn to think about problems from an entirely different perspective, effectively working backwards from the solution, and once you wrap your head around it, it becomes the clear choice for certain applications such as expert systems.
