One success story of core.logic was its use in Threat Grid's software, which apparently ran core.logic on a cluster. Threat Grid was bought out by Cisco for an undisclosed--but apparently large--amount of money.

The Clojure community is very pragmatic, and uses (or used?) core.logic more like an embedded Prolog than for purely relational programming like in most of the miniKanren research. The fact that core.logic doesn't try to do everything is a benefit in the eye of Clojure programmers, I believe.

I don't know to what extent core.logic is still used in the Clojure community. Datomic uses Datalog as a query language. I don't know if there any any projects that combine Datomic and core.logic; certainly both could be used in the same application.
