I'm quite interested in it, and its cousin, logic programming. (I have an
implementation of Prolog written in limbo...).
It's something I definately want to explore further, but I'm busy
with other things right now.
I don't like LISP, due to its lack of syntax and the fact that it's not
a pure functional language (ie functions can have side effects).
I think that greater gains can be achieved by insisting on referential
transparency, and using techniques like monads to characterize state,
IO, exceptions etc., a la Haskell.
