Mercury, which is Prolog inspired, is actually a very interesting underrated language!

I think languages need to lean harder in the direction of doing more with functions than just evaluating them. Unification is one example, but you can imagine more.

My imagination is failing me! Can you give more examples?

Differential computing comes to mind. Kinda like prolog in that you can run a function in reverse.
