Alex Warth did both a standard Prolog and an English based language one using 
OMeta in both Javascript, and in Smalltalk.

Again, why just go with something that happens to be around? Why not try to 
make a language that fits to the users and the goals?

A stronger version of this kind of language is Datalog, especially the "Datalog 
+ Time" language -- called Daedalus -- used in the BOOM project at Berkeley.


Cheers,

Alan
