Ask HN: What are some interesting examples of Prolog?
Not a lot of code but a somewhat different use of Prolog than you're likely to see elsewhere. I used my fork of a MQTT library for Prolog (https://github.com/sprior/swi-mqtt-pack) to implement the central controller for my home automation system. The system responds to MQTT events and then coordinates the appropriate action by sending MQTT messages to other home services. Recent versions of SWI-Prolog also support redis and I've started using that to store device configuration and state between services. The MQTT version is actually a reimplementation of my previous version which used CORBA for inter-service communication.
I don't distribute the home automation code however it's pretty specific to my house. The MQTT library provides some building block examples.

Ask HN: Why are you programming your hobby projects in a niche language?
I forked an abandoned implementation of MQTT for SWI-Prolog by olsky, my fork is at https://github.com/sprior/swi-mqtt-pack
Look in the examples directory for some basic pub/sub code.
The Prolog code that runs in my house is pretty specific to my house so I figured the best way to open source things would be as a framework more than an implementation. You can contact me via issues on the github repo and prod me into adding some more advanced examples - I've learned a lot since my last commit on the repo.
I've started using the Redis functionality recently added to SWI-Prolog, so my code now responds to MQTT messages and uses state queried from Redis to help determine what actions (implemented by sent MQTT messages) to send out. The beauty is that since I don't do anything that blocks significantly in the Prolog code it is now single threaded - even the MQTT listening. It still responds quickly enough and is MUCH easier to deal with than multi-threaded.
An example of what I'm doing is I built a bunch of ESP8266/EESP32 display devices that control neopixels/OLED/LCD displays. When one of those devices boots it sends a MQTT message announcing its location and capabilities (display type, bit depth, dimensions). Prolog receives that message and then stores that info in Redis. So that device info is all dynamic.
So then later Prolog might get a notification that something is in the driveway. All by MQTT it requests an image from the appropriate camera, then sends the image off to Sighthound and deepstack image recognition servers. The Sighthound front end sends a message back to Prolog with a description of any vehicle spotted which Prolog then matches against known vehicles. If it determines for example that a Fedex truck is in the driveway then Prolog sends notifications around the house - it queries all the display devices from Redis and then based on the capabilities of each devices creates a JSON formatted MQTT message to send to each announcing the Fedex truck. It then also sends a MQTT message to some Java code that connects with Google and sends a push message to an Android app I wrote that displays the alert on my phone and watch.
Before I switched to MQTT I was using Prolog with CORBA as the message transport and back then I also had Visual Basic and MS Agent as part of the system. One night I got bored and a little while later had 3 Peedy the Parrot characters singing Row Your Boat in a round across three different computers coordinated by Prolog. It was actually only a page worth of custom Prolog code for that.

Ask HN: What is new in Algorithms / Data Structures these days?
How about some succinct data structures and delta encoding for modern databases [1]. Succinct data structures are a family of data structures which are close in size to the information theoretic minimum representation (while still being queryable).

Datomic Is Now Free
There are already some open source alternatives to datomic. TerminusDB (https://github.com/terminusdb/terminusdb) for example is implemented in prolog (and Rust) so has the datalog variant query power that makes datomic so powerful. If you want free as in speech (thou I love free beer).
