Perhaps your comment is related to something i write before. I was not talking about the expressiveness of java language. In that sense, Ocaml, Lisp, SmallTalk are far, far away from Java.
Java is a C (almost C++) with garbage collection, bound checking and variable initialisation. (its a lot more than that, but for our interest, that are the relevant things). That's all. It is not a pet, it just very handy not to have to take care about memory leaks, rebuild everything every time I change the "Board" class, and things like that. As stated before, the faster I can test new algos, the faster I will be able to find out something interesting. Later, I can implement it on C. > earlier - Java keeps > getting presented as some kind of high level > language than enables a > natural expression of ideas. This is total > garbage.
