In my mind Prolog is enjoying a health afterlife in the form of Erlang (and Elixir)

Beside syntax, those languages are nothing like Prolog. Notably lacking are backtracking and logic variables.
True, but Erlang was originally built using Prolog, so it’s true in a historical sense even if not particularly relevant now.
