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

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.
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!
