Prolog is a very practical language for particular tasks. Languages are tools that fill different niches. Besides, people do stay with Prolog. The language has been going strong for many decades. New Prolog projects pop up often. This can&#

I think the parent comment is wondering if it was originally drafted in English and then translated to Latin.
