I have been interested in Prolog since my time at the University, and I loved the idea of logic programming.

For "proper" Prolog, in 2024 it is a niche language alive in specific constraint solving applications, but not really used outside of that. I haven't seen anyone attempting at using prolog as a general purpose language since the 90'.

Datalog and logic-inspired languages tend to pop up here and there as domain-specific languages.

Rego is a recent incarnation which had good adoption for k8s and other "modern" systems. However, when trying to get people in my org to adopt it in practice, I saw engineers struggle with the paradigm when complexity grows to more than toy problems.
