[net.lang.prolog] Prolog vs Lisp

nilson@mhuxl.UUCP (NILSON) (02/16/84)

I'd like to stir up some discussion comparing these two languages.
Any observations will be appreciated.

This issue comes up every few months, both here and on net.ai. Check the
archives made for your system; they should help. Beyond that, you should
specify what you want compared: language features, run-time speed and
memory economy, productivity of use, etc. There's are things to be said
for both "languages" (they are actually implementations of formal theories).
