Why is this? Is Perl not suited for AI applications? Is it too slow? Is Perl OO programming too messy?

LISP got there first and staked a claim on mindshare. That claim has been slowly eroding, but not, seemingly, in favor of Perl. The latest AI stuff I've seen has been in Java. Why? Probably because Java is the OO language of choice in many settings, and the AI crowd moves in a small number of herds.

I once did an AI assignment in COBOL, but that's a different (sick, twisted) story...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
