I have yet to meet a second person who uses Prolog daily (the first was
an AI professor a while ago).
That makes me number two, I guess :-)
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.
