HOWEVER simple and easy solutions often are better, so based on the same simple idea the same experiment could be reimplemented with green threads and separate/cloned python environments in order to ensure that there is no shared memory.
In my opinion it is still a genius work, just missing compiler support for such construct.
A really simple example would be something like logpy [1]. You give it a set of variables, and a set of constraints, and it will try to efficiently solve for values that meet all the constraints.
A more professional-grade logic solver might be Clojure's core.logic [2], which has been used in many real-world applications. Compare the core.logic Sudoku solver [3] with the quantum version. They are similar, in that they each set the constraints for a solved board, but core.logic is vastly, vastly more efficient.
