Don't Stop Now
summary
Clojure has first-class functions, destructuring, immutability and macros but Prolog adds backtracking and unification that let predicates yield multiple solutions, combine destructure-and-check in one equal-sign step, and run in multiple directions (append used for concat, first, rest). Practical Clojure takeaways: use core.logic ideas, prefer datalog for high-level queries, exploit Specter-like navigators, and consider DCG-style macros or an amb operator to bring Prolog-style parsing and search into real Clojure code.
