Definitely.

OTOH, I always wondered why people in the constraint language business
choose to ignore declarative languages because of their ...
declarativeness, reinvent some - more constructive (procedural) -
language, then figure out that many constraints cannot easily be
expressed with that and then reintroduce the declarative part through
any available backdoor.

I think the article should be understood as a dire warning.
