Why do we need the hundreds of programming languages we have? We don't. It's 
just that different people have different ideas of what makes a language useful.

Practically speaking, the main advantage of Prolog is probably that optimizing 
compilers have been developed for quite some time. Logic programming systems in 
Lisp (and other languages) will probably never catch up with that, for lack of 
manpower.
