I've had the opposite experience. In university and later, everytime I play with prolog, I love it. Some things make so much more sense when you write them this way, and it's not just the few very specific cases. When I learned about prolog and had the first couple of classes using it, I was delighted! Finally a language that works in a way my mind likes to think in.

I am not saying that one way or language is better than the other. But I'm saying that, like you are faster to rewrite in c or java, there are people that can rewrite or understand faster the other way. :)

Programming is fun!
