When our was at university, for part of the computer algebra course we had to work with a MacOS theorem prover application, written totally in house.

The theorem prover logic was in Prolog: it was totally the right tool for the job, and was small, effective, usable and (relatively) easy to understand.

The MacOS user interface was also in Prolog: it was totally not the right tool for the job, and to this day I am still astonished that it could even be done, let alone produce a usable UI.
