I'm fairly certain people like me are confused by Prolog not because it's declarative but because it's a logic programming language. Which is more exotic than a functional one with even more esoteric syntax.
I have a feeling XSLT would be better known (i.e. be able to justify investment into learning) if not for json/yaml popularity. Though XML is not particularly human readable anyway. The next logical step after https://json-schema.org/ would be JSLT I imagine.
On a related note, Maven is a great example of a declarative build system. Both Gradle and SBT were gigantic steps back.
