I don't know if I should feel embarrassed or not too - I'm a lead C++ programmer and I don't understand any of the code or what they are trying to do. It's like learning a language, only to discover people speaking such a dialect of it that you don't understand a word.

I don't see any reason why you should be embarrassed - if you haven't seen Prolog (or anything similar) it is very different to more conventional languages. It's arguable that Prolog is closer to SQL than C++.
the two (Prolog and SQL) even have something of a middle ground - Datalog (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalog)
