  I used to be afraid of functional programming languages like Haskell and erlang because I thought they were logic solvers like prolog, and I was not able to wrap my head around prolog. But no, erlang just turned out to be just a different way to express imperatives. Then I was using prolog to solve the "murdle" logic game puzzles for awhile, so I'm less scared of it than I was, but I still don't think I could make a web application with it.

  @MegaMichelle @mcc You don't want to. Wrong tool.

  Yeah. That's why I tried it on a logic puzzle game. That's exactly the sort of thing that logic programming is for.
