The problem with Datalog, and Clojure in general are the licenses. Terrible licenses.

Everything is about Rich Hickey. Apache 1.0.

Now that Nubank basically owns it and there's very little progress or activity as of late, I don't see why one would chose to use Clojure, Datalog etc.

Also, a lot of functional programming concepts has been since added to big programming languages like Javascript and hell, even Java has lambdas now.

I'm guessing that also hardcore FP people have moved on to Haskell. The ones that like LISP to Racket... and only people tied to the JVM in legacy projects are with Clojure.
