We had it in university courses and it seemed useless. DSL for backtracking.

Yes. As an add-on or library, it could be useful, but as a language it's just a forgotten dead end.

  • And for some cases it's easier to understand if you write the backtracking yourself, and can edit/debug it. That is in case you write readable code professionally, as such algorhythms are not very intuitive for a person who sees it first time.
