All good things to hope for, but languages vary enough that some things must be expressed differently than in other languages; and some features of modern processors are not exposed by most languages; for speed-critical inner loops, as random number generation in very lightweight playout loops might be, hand-crafted assembler may be the best way to go. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
