Same!

Man, where was a post like this when I was struggling trying to learn Prolog, modelling something with knights and knaves...

I’ve always heard the first wave of AI was all lisp. Why is that? Just cause it had superpowers over the other languages of the day?

I can see why someone would think prolog could bring an AI wave. Even after messing around with it for a few hours, I feel like there are things I could build in prolog that I couldn’t build in typescript.
