Does anyone have any stories of how they used Prolog in production to solve an interesting business problem ?

  Lots of robotics startups are using prolog for planning.

    I'm very curious about the recent practical applications of prolog, do you have a link to any of these startups' websites or an article commenting about such applications?

      Off the top of my head, magazino.eu and knowrob.org

  I do not use prolog in production, but I frequently use ideas from prolog (program with constraints and a solver) in other languages

  Not exactly a business problem, but I heard that a Prolog-like approach works very well for a type inference system.

  It's light on details (plan to fill out more later) but we're using Prolog for the roles & permissions system in our Rails app https://pubb.substack.com/p/practical-prolog-in-ruby-on-rails https://pubb.substack.com/p/practical-prolog-in-ruby-on-rail...

  Idk if this qualifies as "in production", but the JavaScript package manager Yarn (version 2) and its users use Prolog to define rules for their dependencies. Like if you have submodules A and B and both depend on package C, you may use Prolog to constrain that both A and B must always use the same version of C and updating C must be done in both packages. https://yarnpkg.com/features/constraints https://yarnpkg.com/features/constraints
