Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link posts comparing Racket and Clojure and a post on why one commenter became disenchanted with logic programming after a PhD in Prolog. Linked as background sources.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

A small overview as to why can be seen here: http://programming-puzzler.blogspot.com/2013/03/logic-progra... I'm also trying to put as much logic as possible into SQL (because it's declarative and can easily be reordered) but eventually you have too many conditionals to handle it in SQL, espe…
