Ah thanks for clarifying. Now it makes sense. Are there any real world applications for this, for us mortal web developers?

If you're asking "are there potentially awesome applications of this?" then the answer is probably "yes".

If you're asking "is there anything in the wild that I would know of and uses this?" then the answer is probably "no".

Most of the prolog projects I've ever seen are pretty inbred; implementing compilers or interpreters, hooks for another language-type things. Though it must be said that I'm not deeply embedded in the prolog community.

In my 4th year university project we worked on an expert system for a card game in Prolog... For doing an expert system based AI, prolog is pretty good...
