CloCoP is a Clojure wrapper of the Java library JaCoP. The acronyms stand for "Clojure/Java Constraint Programming". This invites comparison to the core.logic library, and you may wonder why we need both. There are a few ways in which, in my opinion, the JaCoP system is better than core.logic: - JaCoP is more "plug-in-able," with an extensive set of customizations to the way that the search operates. There are interfaces for different components of the search, and each has several implementations. - I found that with core.logic, I was somewhat limited by the set of available constraints. JaCoP has many different constraints that seem to more suit my needs for solving challenging problems. - As the core.logic people say,<https://github.com/clojure/core.logic/wiki/External-solvers>JaCoP is anywhere from 10X-100X faster than core.logic at solving Finite Domain problems. JaCoP has a lot of "global constraints" which are very powerful and essential for describing certain problems. As Radoslaw Szymanek (an author of JaCoP) says, "CP without global constraints is just [a] plain academic toy. Using problems with arithmetic constraints is doing CP bad publicity." If you'd like to see implementations of sample problems in CloCoP, check out the test cases<https://github.com/aengelberg/clocop/tree/master/test/clocop> (https://github.com/aengelberg/clocop/tree/master/test/clocop). -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
