I think so too. I use Prolog for data analysis now because it allows me to include both symbolic knowledge and numeric information. If the numeric modelling elements are straightforward, I code them in Prolog, and if they are not I call out to other things. The state of Prolog is such that I have to deal with a lot of integration/API/library related friction as a result, but I think that the benefits are worth it.
