You should be aware that implementations of Prolog are still being released. Erlang was originally based on it.

I'm guessing from your comment that you don't work on anything related to AI.

I wrote a lot of Prolog

In 1992

I thought declarative programming was the way of the future. I was wrong. It is useful in a small set of cases but generally speaking procedural programming (still) rules the roost.

It seems everybody is learning lessons learnt in the 1950s over and over again.
