Why not Prolog?
From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog)
[Prolog is a general purpose logic programming language associated with
artificial intelligence and computational linguistics.
Prolog has its roots in formal logic, and unlike many other programming
languages, Prolog is declarative: The program logic is expressed in
terms of relations, represented as facts and rules. Execution is
triggered by running queries over these relations.]
Prolog has almost the same syntax of Erlang (the first Erlang
interpreters have been written in Prolog!).
There are many free Prolog interpreters and even native compilers.
