Could you, or anyone else, elaborate a bit on how to emulate Prolog in
Haskell?
For example, I remember that in Prolog you can write a concat function that
can be used to concatenate two lists as well as to split them:
concat([1,2] ,[3,4] ,Z) --> Z = [1,2,3,4]
concat([1,2] ,Y ,[1,2,3,4]) --> Y = [3,4]
Now, that's powerful. How would you do that in Haskell?

Titto
