erlang syntax is prolog inspired, not sure if that's a good thing though :)


The prologesque syntax gets a lot of grief, but I genuinely appreciate it. I like my different paradigm languages to look different, helps me think differently.

(but it's much closer to Algol than Lisp is, so I don't have to bend my brain quite that hard)


Not just inspired. It was initially implemented in Prolog!


I like it. There are some annoyances to do with minor syntactical warts, like commas and semicolons, but all in all, I find it expressive.
