Could you build this?
No Implementing a constraint satisfaction/programming solver library requires deep theoretical computer science expertise in search algorithms, constraint propagation, and domain reduction.
What it would actually take: Building a constraint programming engine involves designing propagator networks, backtracking/branch-and-bound search engines, and arc-consistency algorithms (like AC-3/AC-4) in Clojure/Java. The complex mathematical guarantees, cycle detection, and performance optimizations require specialized research-level expertise in discrete optimization and formal methods.
