Lisp is fun, Prolog give me a real pain, but I found this
http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/research/mercury/
a while ago which looked kinda funky, it's kinda like Prolog done nicely,
it claims to be really fast (compared to Prolog, which could be a complete
dog), allows you to use modules (code libraries), has a gui library and
apparently people have actually produced applications with it. I never had
to investigate it properly or learn a whole new way to program, but if you
plan on learning a declarative programming language check it out,
