"Even in the article you linked, the author had to give up the convenience of

Touché :-)
Btw, I'll give a shot to QT Creator; it looks interesting.
And I definitely, definitely have to learn writing externals.
Thank you Mark…
I wrote an extensive response to your original mail on this thread but sadly
lost it to rubbish Yahoo! webmail + the 15k limit on the list. (FWIW,
JavaScript is not 50 times slower than C++ but with modern JS engines like
Google's v8 more like 5 times + that amazing Citadel demo with the unreal
Yes, I'm aware of Box2D integration and I'm very excited about it.
I can't wait to see the possibilities.
But, I'm not sure how much performance boost it will give us.
I've stumbled on an article tonight about algorithm optimizations.
It's kind of a case study.

Well put, indeed.
I'm quite convinced about this.

Very well put.
There is a danger of getting distracted by these sorts of things.
