As for AI, I would choose Prolog any time over Lisp. ;) I know either one
really but I had more fun with Prolog than with Lisp when playing with them.
You know the AI people are divided into two groups: 'the fuzzy' and 'the
tidy'. (Dunno these are the orginal phrases in English..)
The former ones are people of practice and little theory, the latter ones
are people of theory and more theory which works in practice. ;)
The former ones like Lisp and the latter ones use Prolog.
Lisp is prefered in the USA, Prolog is preferred in Europe and Japan.
Anyway, my point is that Python is very neat for doing AI:

This is the best AI textbook I've seen so far and their textbook code is
being put into Python...
Help them out.. ;)
Best,
Miklós
