Why would prolog be considered an ugly language? Maybe weird, but not ugly: minimalist syntax, very few special cases, isomorphic to first-order logic and almos

Why would prolog be considered an ugly language? Maybe weird, but not ugly: minimalist syntax, very few special cases, isomorphic to first-order logic and almost equivalent to the pure mathematical notation. I would not recommend it for general-purpose programming, but it solves a specific set of problems better than any other language.
- afandian 14y agoAgreed. Prolog as a language is about as direct and minimalist a representation of its concept as it's possible to get (along with Lisp and co). In that respect I would say it's rather a fine language as beauty goes.
