- There are several smallish Prolog vendors, so apparently someone is
- using it. The applications one hears about are usually natural language
- processing, expert systems and constraint solving programs. There was
- a paper about how Prolog was used to query the hordes of databases of
- Boeing at ILPS'95 (databases distributed all across the company and so
- on, of course).

- Anyway, that doesn't mean that guy's survey was very scientific.
- Self-selected population to be measured and all that.
