Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 7, Utility: 7)

This project ports Google OR-Tools, a powerful optimization library, to WebAssembly, enabling complex constraint programming, routing, and linear programming solvers to run directly in the browser. It provides a TypeScript API closely mirroring the original Python interfaces and supports multiple bundlers and runtimes, making advanced optimization accessible to web developers without server-side infrastructure.

Target audience: backend devs
