- Your first comparison of Prolog and Lisp is not very meaningful. You are
- comparing a Prolog implemented in Lisp with a Lisp implemented in C.
- Perhaps you could try to compare Lisp in Lisp with Prolog in Lisp.
-
- In a certain sense, your comparison of Franzlisp and C-Prolog infact
- indicates the superiority of C-Prolog. C-Prolog can be used to do append
- and all other functional programming at almost the speed of FranzLisp.
- However, in C-Prolog, you can do also do deduction, searching, pattern
- matching and a lot of other AI-stuff at the same speed. To do these in
- Franzlisp you must write Lisp functions and suffer the loss in speed
- associated with simulating functionality in a high-level language.
