The Power of Prolog

Re:The Power of Prolog by vpribish on Wednesday April 08, 2020 @08:26PM (#22818642)

has anyone here ever used prolog in production - like real world, making money, production? How about in real world research where it produced no-kidding actual value? From what I can tell it is only useful these days as a academic example of an alternative type of language. Is there something else that has carried the torch forward?

TerminusDB is used commercially and most of it is written in prolog, although the underlying storage engine is written in Rust.

Datalog is still a good idea imho!

I did write a library management program for a large insurance company in Prolog, around 1988.
