Does anyone remember Turbo Prolog?

I distinctly remember reading articles (from more than one source) a number
of years
ago (more than I would like to count) about how in 5 years everyone would be
programming
in Prolog.

My answer back then: Learn Prolog, evaluate it, use it if you think it's the
best tool for the job.

Java?

My answer now: Learn Java, evaluate it, use it if you think its the best
tool for the job.

BTW: You'll get the same response from me regardless of what language you
ask about.

My language of choice for non-GUI applications: Ada
