lmao pescau.

As for why a rhino for Javascript? The same reason you have a camel for Perl. It's about bloat.

Prolog is a logic programming language. It has its roots in formal logic and require some thinking to program with it.

Here is the famous joke about prolog:

How many Prolog programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
-> No.

You need a Math-CS graduate.

Here in Argentina we have three careers: Computer Science, Informatics and Systems. The first one is almost completely about math and some programming languages. The second has less math but more programming and staff management, while the third is almost completely oriented towards Banking and other Company stuff.
I'm studying Informatics Engineering ATM. I'd be at CS, but my brain isn't capable enough of such a thing.

Then You can put me in thoses boxes:
- Computer science (combinatorial optimization, logic programming, constraints programming, etc.)
- Systems (modeling, formal validation, etc.)

I'm also an integrist in term of programming language, my firsts choices are:
- OCaml,
- Ruby / Python
- C and Java because we are forced to work with that one day or another :-D

With staff management I meant knowing what your team needs, how to split tasks and when you need more people or not. Mostly, you learn that by experience when doing projects (like the one I'm now in), and Systems is more about economy and such.
Have you tried Scala? If you're more of the functional-type guy, then I think you'll like it. :P
