I recently developed a probabilistic programming framework in C#. There's a fun example [1] in the tutorial that should give you a pretty good idea of what a PPL "feels like" to use.

The example is originally from the Anglican website (another PPL), but the general idea is transferable; PPLs make composing entire probabilistic models as easy as adding integers. We can perform complex inference on our models, and even compose our inference methods to form more powerful ones.
