c: imperitive
lisp: functional
prolog: logical

which is easier? it depends on you, the way you think, as well as the
problem you're trying to solve.

c works very much like the computer underneath it. lisp is somewhat
like functions in math but with some hacks that allow c-like
programming. fp and ml will provide a more functional approach - no
vars, no loops. in prolog you state a collection of facts and the
relationships between them, and then ask questions.

btw, happy even day...
