Having some experience with both languages (though not professionally), I personally much prefer Prolog to Haskell. There's an initial hurdle with Prolog because it uses such an unfamiliar paradigm, but once you get good with it, programming in Prolog is pure pleasure for me.

I like Haskell just fine, it's an excellent language, but my heart belongs to Prolog.

Do you know of Mercury? It's Prolog with types, basically.

The language is fantastic, but I think it's fair to say that the implementation and ecosystem leave some things to be desired.
