Rust API

Hello,

Rust is a general-purpose programming language that combines safety and speed. It is system-oriented and was used to write highly performant applications (ripgrep, firefox quantum) and operating systems (redox).

There is a community using this performant language for scientific computing. Popular scientific libraries exist (ndarray, argmin), it managed in a few years to reach a non anecdotal rank on the TIOBE index and used by the best teams in optimization contests like ICFP.

I use it myself every day for my work in scientific computing. I would really like if there existed a native rust API to Gurobi.

Best regards,

Virgile Andreani

  Hi Virgile,

  There is no official native Rust API for Gurobi, yet. There are tool to generate C bindings for Rust that you may be able to use to call the Gurobi C API: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen

  This is similar to what the official APIs do:

  

  https://www.gurobi.com/documentation/9.0/refman/refman.html

  I hope that helps!

  Cheers,
  Matthias
