Thanks, I know that history, and nobody is denying the influence. The broader context are your claims about "a lot of commonalities here". There are commonalities, but they are shallow.
That we have to disagree. Leaving aside the non-Prolog features, much of the Erlang syntax is definitely inspired by Prolog (mentioned in many papers including https://www.erlang.org/faq/academic). That was the reason the HN submission i had referenced which linked to a reference sheet comparing Prolog/Erlang/Elixir was so interesting (direct link https://hyperpolyglot.org/logic). In most cases the Erlang syntax is just a simplified version.
