Another fun Prolog fact: Between 1996 and 2000, a Prolog program was distributed to tens of millions of users as part of Windows NT 4: https://web.archive.org/web/20040603192757/research.microsoft.com/research/dtg/davidhov/pap.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20040603192757/research.microsof...

So do people use Prolog today? Given it's demonstrable that people use NT4 today, even if only for frivolous nostalgia trips or just an appreciation of _retro_-computing because if we can enjoy a mid-1990s abstract geometric screensaver today then it's no different to appreciating a 1960s Lava Lamp if you lived in the 1990s (presumably sat on the same desk and computer you're trying to install NT4 on).
