Prolog vs. Prologue — What's the Difference?

Prolog is a logic programming language associated with artificial intelligence and computational linguistics.Prolog has its roots in first-order logic, a formal logic, and unlike many other programming languages, Prolog is intended primarily as a declarative programming language: the program logic is expressed in terms of relations, represented as facts and rules. A computation is initiated by running a query over these relations.The language was developed and implemented in Marseille, France, in 1972 by Alain Colmerauer with Philippe Roussel, based on Robert Kowalski's procedural interpretation of Horn clauses.Prolog was one of the first logic programming languages and remains the most popular such language today, with several free and commercial implementations available.

The Ancient Greek prólogos included the modern meaning of prologue, but was of wider significance, more like the meaning of preface.
