Ooh I'll check out the paper with interest. I studied Prolog for 4 years running in my StA BSc and before that in my final year at school, when I taught myself Prolog to use as part of a "Computers and Genealogy" project for my Higher Computing Studies. Prolog is one of just 2 programming languages I still use from my CS undergraduate days. The other being SQL, which I used for analysing library borrowings databases in my history PhD years later. I remember telling Roy Dyckhoff years later (my main Prolog teacher at uni in the early 1990s) that I was still using Prolog all these years on, and that made him smile! I lost so much abstract programming technique after my neurological disease started in 1994. But yup, still occasionally use Prolog and SQL. Have since learned Python, but just to write a single program in, albeit a very ambitious program (reconstituting families from parish register baptism and marriage indexes). And I code text adventures in Inform, but that's natural language, so a bit less abstract! Though declarative, so reminiscent of Prolog in many ways. Anyway downloading the paper now. Cheers for the heads up!
