Personally I think Prolog is great* and I'm learning it for funsies but neural nets are a specific approach that people have been writing in Python, because they already know Python. Prolog is a whole thing. Kind of an apples and oranges problem.
* I mean seriously it's fantastically expressive: parsing, constraint logic, expert systems, database interaction-- all look and feel completely native, it's beautiful.
