No mention of PicoLisp (application server, embedded Prolog, etc, etc...) or Dylan. No way Teller saw them and they didn't make the list.

There already is a pretty major effort around the prolog community to build everything as much as possible around pure, monotonic prolog, and to provide a means to support multiple search strategies depending on the best fit for the problem. CLP libraries are also pretty common and the go-to for representing algebraic expressions relationally and declaratively.
I wouldn't say that the logic or relational way of describing effects is a bad thing either. By design it allows for multiple return values (foo/1, foo/2, ...) you can build higher level predicates that return multiple resources, which is pretty common for many programs. It makes concatenative (compositional) style programming really straightforward, especially for more complex interweaving, which also ends up being quite common. Many prolog implementations also support shift/reset, so that you can easily build things like conditions and restarts, algebraic effects, and/or debugging facilities on top. Prolog is also homoiconic in a unique way compared to lisp, and it's quite nice because the pattern matching is so powerful. Prolog really is one of the best languages I ever learned, I wish it was more popular. I think prolog implementations need a better C FFI interop and a nicer library ecosystem. Trealla has a good C FFI.
I think logic programming is the future, and a lot of these problems with prolog are fixable. If it's not going to be prolog, it'll probably be something like kanren and datalog within a lisp like scheme or clojure(script).
This is a great resource for getting a good feel of prolog: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePowerOfProlog/videos
Out of my depth here, but I do have 5 Prolog books I can't seem to let go of. I used to dabble. A lot. Out of all my numerous prog-lang infatuations, only 3 have stuck: Erlang, Prolog and Picolisp. At most, 2 degrees of separation between those 3. No one mentioned Picolisp yet, so I have to, because it has a Prolog embedded in it. This seems like an appropriate place to do it.

Exciting! Was Rebol user for years, dabbled in Factor. Picolisp too. All great for interactive use, but the latter two seemed to have more learning curve than I could commit to. Eyeballed R3 and Red-lang but went with Python 2, then 3. Significant whitespace has not grown on me. I prefer my own idiosyncratic indentation convention. Watching your project closely.
ok but what is it?
Chuck Moore's https://www.greenarraychips.com/ for example?

We used to argue about dynamic vs static languages. We still do, but we used to, too.

It's so awesome when projects shout out other projects that they're similar to or inspired by or not replacements for. I learned about https://github.com/yamafaktory/jql from the readme of this project and it's what I've been looking for for a long time, thank you!
That's not to take away from JAQ by any means I just find the JQ style syntax uber hard to grokk so jql makes more sense for me.
jql homoiconicity looks rather ... Lispy. Like you could use it on itself, write "Macros", etc.

Glad to see things like this. Think Phix is contender in the space. 100% RosettaCode coverage in 2021.
The way I did it was similar to what you've already done except I started doing yoga and jogging as well. It helped me stay calm and think clearly when combined with meds. If you haven't tried doing yoga, don't sleep on it.
If you work in IT, look into MSP work. MSPs can be tough but they often have lower barriers to entry due to high turnover. If not, there is probably something similar in your field.
