I studied prolog too! For a semester only but I loved it. I don't remember much of it but I loved it because it felt like a true "high level" programming language to me. Describe it a problem and ask questions. Felt like magic.
Also learning erlang was much easier when you had some basic idea of prolog. Clauses did not seem so weird and once you understood how clauses work you've basically got 80% of the language nailed.
What I don't really understand though is why erlang didn't go all the way. Why take only surface level features of prolog and ignore the really cool parts?
