Still, I think more Perl children should learn logic programming and so I toss out candy to lure 'em in.
I've heard this statement and other similar statements any number of other times, but I'm afraid I've yet to fully grasp the reasoning behind them, so I was wondering if I might impose upon your good nature and inquire as to exactly why you feel people should learn Logic Programming in general (and prolog in specific?)? Is it just a general notion that the more paradigms we're exposed to, the more options you have when devising solutions? Is there perchance a specific example of a "real world" (for some value of real, obviously) problem that is vastly easier to solve in prolog and you could present here, hopefully with contrasting examples from multiple languages?
