Message-ID: <23903@eerie.acsu.Buffalo.EDU> Date: 2 May 90 16:55:37 GMT Sender: news@acsu.Buffalo.EDU Organization: SUNY Buffalo Lines: 17 i'm reposting this as it seems to have bounced back... ----------------- thanks to all of you who told me about prolog interpreters for the ibm... but i'm curious, no responses came from the us and a great number of articles on comp.lang.prolog aren't from the us.... why? i'm just leaarning prolog and it is by far one of the most interesting languages i've learned. i'm also surprised that prolog isn't used as an introductory language, on a small level it seems quite simple and can model everyday things with ease.... somehow making a program that models "mary likes all animals except snakes." seems more interesting than making a program that reads your name and then says "hello, ." any good reasons for this besides being hung up on von-neuman architecture and unwillingness to change? kevin lyda@lictor.acsu.buffalo.edu
