I'll also chime in and say that Prolog is an interesting language to experiment with even if you don't use it for anything else later. It is said that there are some languages that change the way that you think about programming -- Prolog is definitely one of these. It is one of the few languages where the majority of the work is done through pattern matching (unification), rather than explicit algorithms.
