I have used constraint solvers in the past, and they are truly magical in what they can do. The problem is that there are not many available resources for the novice. Most of the material you can find is how to solve sudoku (the hello world of the space) or highly technical primary research literate meant exclusively for domain experts. Which is a shame, because I think huge swaths of problems could be solved by these tools if they were more accessible. “Accessible” still meaning it requires a programmer, because shaping a problem into the constraints DSL is not going to be in the wheelhouse of most.
