The last two Prolog 8 week intensive classes put on by the SWI-Prolog community have taught more than 400 people modern Prolog, so yes its growing and depending on what kinds of problems you're dealing with it may be worth picking up now. Like most tools that give companies a serious competitive advantage they aren't really talking about it. Does it change the way you think about programming? Definitely. Prolog gives me the tools to solve the right problem the right way in ways I'd be scared to attempt in other languages. Consider the following scenario. You run a forum. It's super succesful. You now need to implement access control. In most languages I think white lists. Then you need to add a blacklist, then some sort of inheritance, then its a mess. In Prolog going straight for role based access is 50 lines of code. Tops.
