is prolog a use-case language or is it as versatile as python?

In theory, it's as versatile as Python et al[0] but if you're using it for, e.g., serving bog-standard static pages over HTTP, you're very much using an industrial power hammer to apply screws to glass - you can probably make it work but people will look at you funny.

[0] Modulo that Python et al almost certainly have order(s) of magnitude more external libraries etc.
