Well this is of course the argument that the Japanese were
trying to make in the 5GL project, but at the time, most
US experts in expert systems were unconvinced, and considered
LISP a better choice. That opinion has not significantly
changed, although you probably find more expert systems written
in "conventional" languages like C or Ada these days than
before.
Yes, there are some very convincing examples of Prolog programs,
I think one of the most interesting was the program that
embodied the UK citizenship laws. But the fact of the matter is
that Prolog just has not lived up to the promises we heard in
Tokyo. Yes, of course there will be enthusiasts who see things
otherwise, but it is certainly *very* controversial to claim
that it is obvious that Prolog is the best language for writing
expert systems.
