Hi.
In our days, is there any good reason to learn and use Prolog or it
may be useful just to switch to some modern FP language like Haskell?

Depends for what. If you want to train your brain, learn both. If you
think about job market - I know that Prolog is used here and there,
but finding a job that requires Haskell is like winning a lottery.

See the following

but also see this

P.S. If you want to train your brain, learn also Scheme


I thot that was "Perl" ;-)


And I was thinking that you pretend stupid. I was wrong...

Whatever else you might think, I make no pretense.
