Looking for an elixir library to do linear programming
Just as the title says, I’m looking for a library specifically for linear programming to work in a program producing schedules. wiki
I’ve googled around for a few hours without luck. Is this something I’ll have to come up with myself?

Probably, I haven’t seen anything yet. Solving computing tasks like this one probably wouldn’t be efficient enough on the beam. You can try interfacing with a command line tool using ports or with a C lib using NIFs. Here is a list of tools / libs from which some could be useful (the list includes solvers for integer programming but also linear and nonlinear programming solvers and other kinds of optimization software)

Your best bet would be to create a port to an existing linear programming solution in another language. Elixir and pretty much anything involving heavy lifting with linear algebra is going to be an uphill battle.
