I use JuMP as modeling language. For MILP i am usually using Gurobi or SCIP. For ILP problems have have been looking in to the exact solver https://gitlab.com/JoD/exact which seems quiet promising.

For NLP i usually go with either https://worhp.de/ or just IpOpt.

<3 SCIP. About a dozen years ago I used to write the python-zibopt library (now defunct and rendered moot by the far superior PySCIPOpt).

Hadn't heard of JoD - that looks really interesting. What are your experiences so far?

JoD is Jakob Nordström. He gave a talk on the predecessor of Exact here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvXy7Nzn-IA

My experience so far: Quiet good at finding feasible solutions when constraints are complex. Really young code with a lot of potential. Not that good at finding optimas.
