One very fun and practical application for Datalog is Biscuits, which are a type of arbitrarily scoped authorization token: https://biscuitsec.org/ https://biscuitsec.org/.
I tried them out for a pet project over here: https://er4hn.info/blog/2024.05.08-biscuits/ https://er4hn.info/blog/2024.05.08-biscuits/ and was pretty impressed with what I found. It's not a perfect solution, but I liked it a lot more than OAuth.
