The challenge of inference is that most distributions that are of interest are not as simple as `sprinkler`. They could have continuous random variables, a huge number of them, or even a number of them that is itself random. They could involve a series of observations, interspersed with other sources of randomness.

Designing a language in which you can specify arbitrarily complex (computable) distributions as probabilistic programs turns out to be a largely solved problem. The tools given about are sufficient for that.

The hard part is designing a language where you can specify how you want to do inference, because sophisticated, often approximate, inference methods are almost always necessary for the models involved in solving real world problems.
