Logic Programming and the Prolog language have a major role in Computing. Prolog, and its derived languages, have been widely used in a impressive variety of application domains. Thus, a bit of the history of Logic Programming reflects in the history of systems such as Dec-10 Prolog [32], M-Prolog [15], C-Prolog [19], Quintus Prolog [20], SICStus Prolog [6], BIM-Prolog [17], ECLiPSe [1], BinProlog [30], SWI-Prolog [34], CIAO [14], and B-Prolog [35], to mention but a few. I briefly present the evolution of one such system, YAP, and present a personal perspective on the challenges ahead for YAP (and for Logic Programming).
