I'm interested in learning a constraint and/or logic programming language. (From what I can tell, they appear to be similar.)

Any suggestions on what language I should pick as well as good tutorials for it?

The most widely-used constraint logic language is Prolog. You can find a tutorial here (http://www.csupomona.edu/~jrfisher/www/prolog_tutorial/contents.html).

If you want to differ from the norm a bit, though, Oz looks very interesting.

You could also look at Common Lisp with the Cells package, which implements declarative constraint programming within CL.

Alrighty. Just to make sure, are regular expressions constraint based constructs?

Also, out of curiosity, what are some of the "bigger" programming paradigms are there to learn?
