A comment on Amb.

It took me a good 15 minutes trying to figure out what this was but it looks like a really neat way to solve certain problems. The example provided makes it appear that Amb is a way to build a solver of a defined problem. Is the efficiency of this totally up to the language?

It reminds me of riddles "what ends the first and starts the next for each"

It’s just a declarative way of solving a problem, like a SQL query or my C# .csx implementation. I’m actually quite surprised that there isn’t any SQL implementation...
