I would agree that the currently mainstream implementations
are long overdue for an overhaul, and I never liked SQL as a
notation for logic. (04)
Ted Codd didn't invent the SQL notation, and when he saw
Prolog, him immediate reaction was "I wish I had invented that." (05)
I also believe in the value of hybrid systems, and one of my
recent papers has the title "Two paradigms are better than
one, and multiple paradigms are even better": (06)
