Constraint Programming toolset with most active community & resources

I'm new to CP. So far I've played with MiniZinc and I'm finding this a lot of fun.

Before I commit too much, I want to figure out what CP language & solver is best to start with in terms of most active community, actively being developed and used in research, and best learning resources (examples & tutorials).

The options so far seem to be: MiniZinc, ECLiPSe, and or-tools.

Thanks,

  • MiniZinc is an excelent starting point. If you are interested in more languages I suggest to study Choco and JaCoP, both can be used as Java libraries, and both have very active communities.
