None of the companies of my dreams was using C and "ACM ICPC and similar competitions" was done in Prolog.

Is this a typo for Pascal? When I did the ICPC, Prolog was not a permitted language in my region, and IIRC not at worlds either. But Pascal was (which I always found quaint, but perhaps that was my provincialism).

No, we didn't had anything like ICPC in the 90's on my home country, at least it wasn't known to us.
But we had "... similar competitions", one of them was national logic programming competitions.
