I'm not a constraint programming expert, but as a dweller in artificial 
intelligence I know that Constraint Logic Programming is a big part of 
constraint programming, and Prolog (programmation en logique) is a big 
part of CLP.

And sometime ago there was a Prolog system written in Ada, maybe in the 
PAL. I examined it for a natural language application, but I ended up 
linking to a different implementation (Sicstus) for 'histerical' reasons.

Mes deux centimes.
