- silentbicycle 16y agoYep, Erlang was a DSL on SICStus Prolog. Prolog's syntax is a lot cleaner, though - if you took your favorite language and added lots of new operators, so they were clearly the new language, how would it turn out? A lot of minor issues with Erlang (e.g. the whole ; vs , vs . thing) come from that. Once you get past the surface details, though, Erlang kicks ass. Hold on! (Prolog is awesome, too.)
