Exactly. I was looking at using a sat solver for a rules engine and couldn't make heads or tails how to use it. After alot of deduction, got a basic POC working, but couldn't extend it to what was actually needed. But the gulf between toy implementations and anything more substantial was very large.



SAT is kind of the assembly language of constraint solving, using a higher level paradigm like CP/SMT/ASP should be easier.
