Is it the case that lisp is better for certain applications than prolog and vicversa? Or is lisp predominant (really?) be cause of its long history. I personally like lisp but this is most likely due to my lack of experience with prolog. Anyway, I've never seen a comparison between the two languages. I'll post the compiled list of comparisons to the net. Thanks in advance for any input. : Bill ;
