I was excited about prolog when it first gained popularity in the 1970s for exactly this reason. Then I discovered that real programming in prolog hides some of the reasoning necessary for programming (like the time needed for a computation to finish) behind abstractions of the language. (I.e. The cut operator ruined for me)
