what is prolog? A language that feels like math class but for coding.
It’s not like Python (no loops, no variables in the usual sense). Instead, you define rules and ask questions.
Still used in some AI and linguistics work. For tools, SWI-Prolog is the go-to.

Wow, thanks everyone! This really helps—didn’t realize Prolog was so different from regular languages.
Gonna try SWI-Prolog later today. Quick follow-up: is there a modern equivalent to Prolog, or is it still the best for logic-based stuff?
Also, any tips for avoiding frustration with the syntax? It looks... intense lol.
