Abstract
Prolog is one of the most underrated programming languages around; possibly because of its strange syntax and the unusual paradigm.
But it is a very nice special-purpose programming language.
In this talk, I introduce Prolog’s programming model, showcase some programming domains in which Prolog allows for very concise, elegant programs, and finally describe how it can also be used as a general-purpose tool.

This talk, given by Lars Hupel, was a super fun look at Prolog, a logical programming language developed in the 70s. […] Lars did a really great job of demonstrating Prolog’s uniqueness! – Notes from BOB2019 Konferenz
"I am going to tell a joke now and I would appreciate if you laugh." @larsr_h is the most German. ♥️ #codemesh pic.twitter.com/fPAc4xPuqu

Great talk by @larsr_h on Prolog at @CodeMeshIO. I've never used it before but now I feel like I know enough to pick it up. Thanks for keeping it engaging 👏🏻

I might have implemented an assembler in prolog because of this. Mind you I have no idea what I am doing, and it's late, but it works. https://t.co/A4A8mS9vY1
