I always come back to prolog to tool around with it but haven’t done a ton.

Bidirectionality has always been super fascinating.

Didn’t know about Picat. 100% going to check it out.

I'll warn you that Picat is very much a "research language" and a lot of the affordances you'd expect with a polished PL just aren't there yet. There's also this really great "field notes" repo from another person who learned it: https://github.com/dsagman/picat

Totally fair. Realistically “check it out” means I’ll probably spin up an env and try modeling a few things to see how it feels.

I’m mostly a language tourist they likes kicking the tires on modes of modeling problems that feel different to my brain.

Started skimming those notes. Really solid info. Appreciate it!

Side note: Just clocked your name. Read through Practical TLA+ recently modeling a few things at work. Incredibly helpful book for working through my first concrete model in practice.
