Formal Support and Documentation for Golang (CP-SAT/Linear Solver)

[dy850078]

What language and solver does this apply to?
Golang / CP-SAT, Routing, Linear Solver

Describe the problem you are trying to solve.
I'm currently planning to use OR-Tools for an scheduling project built with Go. I found the Go module on GitHub but I couldn't find Golang mentioned in the official guide alingside Python, C++, Java.
I want to confirm if the Go implementation is currently officially supported and considered stable for production use, or if it is still in an experimental stage.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be helpful to have a brief clarification for the support status or roadmap for Golang. If it is officially supported, a tiny code snippet would be greatly appreciated.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have search through previous issues and noticed mentions that Golang support was primarily focused on Bazel builds.

Additional context
As more backend systems move to Go for high-performance scheduling, having officially support for Go would be a huge win for the ecosystem. Appreciate your time and guidance!

Currently Golang support have been done by the community, it seems to depends on bazel (i.e. do not interface well with the go ecosystem).

It is not officially supported by Google since we lack of human ressource to make it a first party supported language (and package it for each release).
BTW, any PR is welcome to improve it...

note: in the PR adding some golang stuff:

• Make ortools/sat/go work with bazel #4362
  you could find a link to a sample project (not tested nor audited): https://github.com/luluz66/solver-test maybe it could help

And note ,we do not do any formal support.
We maintain the code, we fix bugs, happily.
But there are no contractual part.

[@Mizux ] Thank you for the clear explanations!

[@lperron ] I also understand that while the code is maintained and bugs are fixed, there's no formal or contractual support.
Also looking forward to the complete Golang integration in the future. Thank you!
