Interestingly, the only other context in which I've come across Prolog is from friends who studied at Cambridge, here in the UK. For some reason, the CS 'tripos' (course) there is really heavily focussed on Prolog, and everyone I know from there ended up a huge fan of the language. I'm not sure why that's the case, though, given that almost all other universities seem to use more common languages (Java, C++, etc).
- WickyNilliams 5y agoI studied CS at a different university in UK and we used Prolog for one module on AI or perhaps machine vision. I really enjoyed working with it. This was 15 years ago. Looking through their current curriculum I can't see prolog being mentioned anymore. Shame!
- zimpenfish 5y agocs.man.ac.uk, at least back in 1992, had a compulsory Prolog module in the first year. Don't know anyone from then who didn't hate that module with a burning passion. (There was no Java, C++, etc. either. It was SML, Pascal, 68000, and Oracle Pascal-Embedded-SQL.)
- ramses0 5y ago"Prolog as a library" => Given "functional" constraints => $CONSTRAINTS.prolog( "query..." ) => results ...many languages (similar to regex / state-machine) can benefit greatly from offloading a portion to something prolog-ish, but it's unfortunate that prolog knowledge isn't as widely distributed.
