Question to "those in the know":
  What are the advantages and disadvantages of using Lisp vs. Prolog?
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.
