The similar acronym appears to be intentional:

> Note on the name: SCIP is pronounced the same way as “skip” and it’s a recursive acronym that stands for “SCIP Code Intelligence Protocol.”

> SCIP is also a purposeful nod to SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Programs), a book about analyzing programs.

Nor the other SCIP.

Also not SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation), widely used to control lab instruments and pronounced similarly ("skippy").

Also not this SCIP: https://www.scipopt.org/

There IS no… wait, wrong acronym.

... and not the solver for mixed integer (linear) programming (MI(L)P) and mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP):

SCIP is a "nod" to SICP

I misread it too.

Imagine working for this company where engineers don’t know about SICP
