Etymology

The term 'Prolog' is derived from 'Programming in Logic', reflecting its basis in formal logic principles. The language was developed in the early 1970s by Robert Kowalski and Alain Colmerauer, who sought to create a system that could use logical representations for problem-solving. The name 'Prolog' became widely recognized as it gained popularity in artificial intelligence research, particularly for its ability to manage symbolic data and perform automated reasoning. Over the decades, Prolog has seen various implementations and extensions, making it an important player in the development of AI methodologies and applications.
