I coded in Lisp for some school projects while at LSU, and found it

language is very clean. Now one language that I had a lot of problems
getting my head around was Prolog. I really didn't enjoy it.
Fortunately,
the language has a pretty narrow focus, so I don't have to worry about
using it again. Anyone use it before?
I remember hearing or reading about Prolog some time ago, but can't remember where or when.
My first exposure to programming was a non-credit Fortran course at LSU in 1962, taught by Fritz McCameron, one of my accounting professors. Later he taught me COBOL. I picked up a little RPG in the '60s, then got interested in Pascal (though I didn't like the implementation of Turbo Pascal) and then got interested in Modula-2 until Pascal was updated to include some of its features. Haven't really gone beyond that--Delphi is just an extension of Object Pascal and suits my needs.
