C++ should be good. But take it with double care. I would code a lot of unit tests. If test driven development is followed, I suppose it will be a good piece of software, and, at the end of the day, a pro product.
Test Driven Development, regression tests, profilling, code coverage, I would apply all that techniques to make it stable and solid. Java is a good alternative for testing algorithms, fast development, etc. But, I'm not sure at all, but I feel that a pro engine will never ends as a Java application. Perhaps, if you find out the way, you can use Java as a test bench, then code the final version on C++. Find out the way, in the sense of not adding a lot of overhead to maintain it. My 2 cents. --- Oliver Lewis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribió: > Please go back to Java! Part of your initial aims > were to make good, well > commented code available to others.
