I remember writing a Prolog(ish) interpreter in Common Lisp in an 90's AI course in grad school for Theorem proving (which is essentially what Prolog is doing under the hood). Really foundational to my understanding of how declarative programming works. In an ideal world I would still be programming in Lisp and using Prolog tools.

I see this sentiment a lot lately. A sense of missed nostalgia.

What happened?

In 20 years, will people reminisce about JavaScript frameworks and reminisce how this was an ideal world??

I also see the CL or Tcl+C or Assembly as an ideal world.
