Logic programming is programming. It's like saying does the need for procedural or OOP or functional programming arise in software development. It's a different style of programming, the mental state of the program when using prolog is to declare the rules that must hold true for the program to execute. You think less about state and more about logic. In my opinion, here's what's amazing about this. There are programs that you might have a hard time solving via other means that you can easily solve with Prolog if you know the rule. If you know the rules all you need to do is state the rules, and Prolog will find the solution for you. Besides being great for quick prototyping and application of rules. You can build complete systems with it. SwiProlog has HTTP, SSL, ODBC and even GUI support.
