The document discusses the perception of functional and logic programming languages as impractical. It prompts the reader to choose between Lisp or Prolog and suggest improvements to enhance their acceptance in mainstream programming. Recommendations should be justified to support the proposed changes.

1. Neither functional programming languages nor logic programming languages are
thought of as ‘practical’ programming languages. Choose either Lisp or Prolog and
recommend changes to the language that you think would increase acceptance of the
language in mainstream programming. Justify your recommendations.
