  Some of us have seen these kinds of fads many, many times.

  XML, Corba, Java, Startups, etc, etc.

  Pump and dump.

  Smart people collect the money from idealists.

I heard a similar story from a friend deeply in Nokia in early 2000's.

Everyone non-technical was hired. Everyone with a strong ability was seen as difficult, and kicked out.

Here in Finland, we have a good trial population: Finnish-Swedes.

They are genetically very similar to Finns, but despite being bi-lingual, and wealthier than native population, they are very slightly duller. (1-3 iq points).

Really interesting to hear!

I was quite hooked to Prolog in a previous life. Then the limiting factor was the tooling, for really practical use.

Could you tell a bit about your Prolog environment?
