I never thought about make as a logic program. But considering this seems to explain a lot. Like SQL, make is an integral part of the programming world ... that most people want as little as possible to do with and which some people violently hate and a few people enjoy playing with. And I think this shows language that just tell the computer "what you want" and not how to get that something tend to not scale with the length of the command or the amount of data processed. SQL was originally created to be something like a human-friendly, natural language interface, if you can believe it. And it's sort of friendly if you only use one or two command-words but after that it gets extremely frustrating. So the connection is interesting.
