> My Prolog programming assignment #4, a Prolog "nehcihsahA" detector (maternal uncle: a mother's brother, or any equivalent relative) seemed designed to make me hate Prolog with a passion, involving bending over backwards by defining ridiculous predicates
Your attempt at a solution definitely defines ridiculous predicates, but you should not blame that on your teacher or the language. For example, there is no way that defining "a mother's brother" would need to refer to a "same sex" predicate in any way. You took a wrong turn somewhere with your approach, but again it's neither the language nor your teacher that forced you down that path.
