To my knowledge, the 'classic' pattern recognition language is Prolog.
There are many, many other possible languages, but I think it is fair to say
that none of them is as specific to pattern matching but also as
general-purpose and powerful as Prolog. Of course Prolog itself has many
variants available.
Prolog's biggest problem tends to be speed (but only for some applications).
There are compilers (e.g. Mercury), but these have limitations and
complications.
If you do not already know Prolog, get a copy and have a play. It might turn
out to be one of your favourite tools.
