Constraint Programming Libraries For Imperative Programming Languages
Constraint programming is often realized in imperative programming via a separate library. Some popular libraries for constraint programming are:
- Artelys Kalis (C++ library, Xpress-Mosel module, proprietary)
- CHIP V5 C++ and C libraries (proprietary)
- Choco (Java library, free software: X11 style)
- Comet (C style language for constraint programming, constraint-based local search and mathematical programming, free binaries available for academic use)
- Cream (Java library, free software: LGPL)
- Disolver (C++ library, proprietary)
- Emma (Python library, proprietary)
- Gecode (C++ library, free software: X11 style)
- Google CP Solver (Python, Java, C++ and .NET library, Apache license)
- IBM ILOG CP (C++ library, proprietary) and CP Optimizer (C++, Java, .NET libraries, proprietary) successor of ILOG Solver, which was considered the market leader in commercial constraint programming software as of 2006
- JaCoP (Java library, open source) available here
- JOpt (Java library, free software)
- JSR-331 (Java Constraint Programming API, JCP standard)
- Koalog Constraint Solver (Java library, proprietary)
- Minion (C++ program, GPL)
- python-constraint (Python library, GPL)
- Turtle++ (C++ library - inspired by the Turtle Language, free software)
- Scampi (Scala library, LGPL)
- Turtle (free software: GPL)

Famous quotes containing the words constraint, programming, libraries, imperative and/or languages:
“In America a woman loses her independence for ever in the bonds of matrimony. While there is less constraint on girls there than anywhere else, a wife submits to stricter obligations. For the former, her father’s house is a home of freedom and pleasure; for the latter, her husband’s is almost a cloister.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
“If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“The less sophisticated of my forbears avoided foreigners at all costs, for the very good reason that, in their circles, speaking in tongues was commonly a prelude to snake handling. The more tolerant among us regarded foreign languages as a kind of speech impediment that could be overcome by willpower.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
