Why Learn Prolog in 2021?
This brings up memories from 7 years ago. While in Uni, we had a homework: "Searching in an infinite space using Prolog".
Unfortunately, the comments are in my native language, but the assignment was to search for a box in an infinite space and bring it back to (0, 0).
It was fun: https://github.com/mateioprea/Searching-In-An-Infinite-Space...

Why Learn Prolog in 2021?
A couple years ago I hacked on a Python type inferencer someone wrote in Prolog. I wasn't enlightened, despite expecting to be, from a bunch of HN posts like this.

For example, can someone add good error messages to this? It didn't really seem practical. I'm sure I am missing something, but there also seemed to be a lot of deficiencies.
In fact I think I learned the opposite lesson. I have to dig up the HN post, but I think the point was "Prolog is NOT logic". It's not programming and it's not math.
(Someone said the same thing about Project Euler and so forth, and I really liked that criticism. https://lobste.rs/s/bqnhbo/book_review_elements_programming )
What are some alternatives?

pyswip - PySwip is a Python - SWI-Prolog bridge enabling to query SWI-Prolog in your Python programs. It features an (incomplete) SWI-Prolog foreign language interface, a utility class that makes it easy querying with Prolog and also a Pythonic interface.
