I know a Prolog vendor who asked me 10-times
what I think about Python.
Same answer, I don't care, I am not bothered.
Really really nobody cares about web interfaces
in logic programming. Its not related to any
problems in logic programming per se.
Its just a particular type of presentation layer,
and using deterministic predicates to generate
web content is not very exciting.
Maybe using Prolog non-determinstic predicates
to generate table like content, or generally
do the processing layer on the server side,
could be a little bit interesting.
If the processing layer does some information
integration, well also not really per se a
logic programming problem, but well there is
a certain potential.
But this potential is in the server processing
layer and not anymore in the presentation layer,
except if some processing is moved into the
client presentation layer.
But the problems are not very web-y anymore
then. They are age old problems of distribution
and time sharing, already found years ago in
query evaluation of database system when there
wasn't even a web.
Bottomline: Doing web with Prolog systems, i.e.
presentation layer, is extremly boring and will
possibly only eat up Prolog resources on the server
whereby the Prolog system could do much better stuff,
for example clever processing.
