I did my Master's at the University of Sussex, where Poplog (including Pop-11) was created. I was there in 2014. I asked one of our tutors how come the university did not teach any of that family of languages (Prolog and LISP variants) to its computer science students anymore. He said that in the '90s, the University had pushed Poplog so hard on students to the exclusion of other languages that were more popular in the industry, and hence more in demand by students, that there had been a backlash against Poplog, and the University had stopped teaching it completely.
This from memory and after questioning on my part that was mainly about teaching logic programming which I was primarily interested in (rather than functional programming).
