[erlang-questions] Is erlang suitable to handle Constraint satisfaction problems ?

[Robert Virding]

As mentioned there is no built-in support for constraint satisfaction in
Erlang. There is, however, a Prolog interpreter implemented in erlang,
Erlog, which could be useful if you need other Erlang features as well.
There is no constraint satisfaction in erlog now but I am itching for a
reason to add it. It seems like it could be a fun project.
