And then you get to PHP.

Yep, it's a real mess.  Both the language and the room you're in when
your head finally explodes.

Depends on the languages. Learning Forth doesn't make it easier to learn 
Perl. Learning Pascal doesn't make Smalltalk easier.

And despite having a couple dozen languages worth of (varying levels
of) experience under my belt, Prolog still feels to me like
programming by epiphany.

Back when I was in school, Lisp and Prolog were the hardest to grok. I
eventually "got" Lisp (well, I actually "got" Scheme, and I think I
could now "get" Lisp if I tried).  Prolog is definitely the odd one of
the dozen or two languages I've learned -- and I even wrote a small
expert system in Prolog as a project for a software engineering class.
