I'll be learning intros to both in my Programming Language Concepts course
this semester.  The prof says Lisp is inefficient on von Neumann machines,
and that has limited its popularity.  But emacs' use of Lisp intrigues me.
It is obviously a very powerful editor, and extensible.  I would love to
learn more.  And i used to have stonybrook prolog for the amiga.  It fit
on 2 880k floppies!
