computer-go: And what about the hardware?



Hi all,

	I subscribed to this group a few weeks ago, and the first message I 
received was that about the best language for computer Go. It seems that
it
doesn't matter very much and what is important is to write well the
program.
Perphaps it is so because all languages run in a 'standard' machine, and
the 
filter for efficiency is the assembly code.

So, this is my question,

	- Do you think that with Go hardware specific machinery the perfomance
of actual programs could be improved?

	- Do you think that it could be a good idea to spend a lot of time
working
in a project trying to write a Go Virtual Machine (GVM for short) hoping
some 
day it could be implemented?

	- Perphaps it could be fun emulate John Von Neumann and try to outline
the 
main components of a GVM. ¿What are the main blocks a GVM should have? 
¿Wich parts of a Go program can be improved using hardware specific
components? 

I am waiting your comments
