I've brushed up against it in the form of datalog as the query language for databases like datomic and xtdb, so it's soul is alive and well!

I'm also considering a prolog like domain specific language to make a state syncing engine with pure declarations of how the state in system A is reflected in System B, etc.

Prolog itself may not be mainstream, but it is an answer to a the universal problem space of constraint solution, so comp sci will always be in its long shadow.
