The problem with the FORTRAN-inspired languages isn't infix notation, it's the bureaucratic mess that is operator precedence. APL and J have infix operators without operator precedence, and they're just as infinite as LISP.

Also, what really is wrong with Prolog? You see some infix-representations of expressions in "is" clauses, but those infix operators are syntactic sugars for what are actually predicates like everything else in Prolog. Prolog gets a pass in my book.
