I've taken a look at some of the OZ project stuff over the WWW. It looks
very good, really at the cutting edge of the art. (Anyone with a web
browser should check it out, at www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/oz/web/
oz.html). I'm personally using LISP instead of Prolog simply because (from
my very limited experience) LISP just seems more suitable to the task. Prolog
does excellent AI stuff, but I want a language that does more than just that,
a more general-purpose language, and LISP seems to fit the bill.
