By 1979 at the latest -- probably closer to 1975 -- the primary Prolog implementation of the day (Warren's DEC-10 version) had an interpreter, where you could load files of code in…

The following is from David H.D. Warren's manual for DEC-10 Prolog, from 1979 [0]. It describes how Prolog development is done interactively, by being able to load code in dynamica…

Languages like Prolog just don't offer that sort of freedom. Yes, they do -- that's why people have enjoyed using such languages. It might help to think of them as being like very-…
