Could you build this?

Partial While wrapping C APIs via cgo or porting an existing Rust wrapper is technically code translation, doing it safely for a massive C optimization suite like SCIP requires deep understanding of memory management and linear programming solvers.

What it would actually take: Requires cgo bindings to SCIP's C library or FFI bindings, managing pointers, callbacks, and memory safety between Go runtime and SCIP's internal memory management. Edge cases in MIP solving, interrupt handlers, and precision bugs require domain knowledge in numerical optimization and C/Go interop.
