Hello Thorsten, no, you got it wrong.
It's about ideas not languages. I think it makes sense in a rolling release OS like Arch.
Ideas like for example
pacman --rollback
Would be possible then
We have an old bug reprot about this. See my comment at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8585#comment47567
With btrfs this might be possible to implement in a clean and sane way. And as I said back then: This feature does not really belong in a package manager; even though ti could trigger snapshot creation etc.

+1 I prefer a general method of rolling back changes, not a package-focused one. I think you can use ARM and 'pacman -Suu' e.g. http://arm.konnichi.com/2011/11/20/
