You're being asked to be a consultant, you know. They want to pretend that if you rewrite Prolog in C#, it'll be simpler, and that the average C# programmer (the cheapest one they can hire) will simply understand (badly written) logic programming solvers and be able to modify them. Eventually you'll figure out to simply double your hourly rate and ask "do you want a bad Haskell implementation to go with that as well ? How about SQL ? Lisp ?" Don't forget to terminate with "by the way here's my card" (asking them to mention their personal referral code "ID10T") when the inevitable happens, nobody understands that code at all when they have to modify it. And every time they ask you to update it you increase your hourly rate 20%. You know, management realism. You can be victimized by it, or you can make a living out of it.
