So I'm not experienced with Prolog, but the thing that scared me off is that it doesn't appear to have any computational complexity guarantees. It seems like will scale very poorly as your data gets bigger. It's just a notation for exhaustive search as far as I know, and you have to add ad hoc cuts outside the declarative model to get reasonable performance.

I have experience with other abstractions which are supposed to be "declarative", but you really have to peek under the hood at the implementation to get them to work in production settings, and I don't like that.
