Prolog is fun. It's fantastically fun. It's maybe one of the most fun programming languages in existence.
I suppose most people who, in production, have to solve the sort of problems that Prolog is really good at are using some sort of logic programming library (or, more realistically, are implementing their own ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Prolog). I don't think Prolog is a great language for shipping an actual product. But for me the alternatives are just not as satisfying. Choosing Prolog for a random little personal project (that fits what Prolog wants to do) is a good time.
