Am not a Prince developer, but I can imagine that a logic programming language would greatly simplify some of constraint solving tasks.

Funnily enough we don't actually use the built-in non-determinism all that much. Often the layout tasks that HTML and CSS demand require us to build our own, bespoke algorithms, for performance and control reasons. We still get a bunch of leverage out of the type system and data modelling power of the language though.
That's really fascinating (& thanks for taking the time to comment).
