Prolog’s declarative style is its secret sauce. You’re not telling the *how*, just the *what*, and the interpreter handles the rest.
For rule-based systems, that’s huge. It’s why it’s still used in NLP and expert systems. Python libs like Pyke or SymPy are cool, but they’re playing catch-up to what language prolog has done for decades.
Downside? Steep learning curve. But if you grok it, you’ll see why it’s stuck around.
