Very good material. Prolog (or the ideas behind it) really needs a resurgence.

It's still going strong in the industrial side of things (like SCADA). You just don't hear much about it.

I've never heard of Prolog alongside SCADA. Can you be more specific? Like in a plant or what?

You know, I'm not sure where I got that from. Maybe I was confusing prolog with the ladder logic, or other languages from IEC 61131-3? I'm really not sure... but after some duckduckgoing I've come to the conclusion I was wrong in my previous statement... sorry.

No problem. Ladder logic and C I can definitely see, but SCADA would have blown my mind :)
