Just a conjecture, but I think the main drawback of Prolog is its hard to see it having popular support. Recursion, logic programming, and constraint satisfaction are challenging paradigms which doesn't lend well to doing something useful quickly, as opposed to something like Rails.
Im just finishing a class using Prolog and CLP(FD) and I've really enjoyed using the language. And while lots of things in programming aren't easy at first, I'm just saying its hard to see wide adoption of prolog for that reason.
