RE: computer-go: Sharing Go modules

["Fant, Chris" <chris.fant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark, I think it's unfortunate that you will not be able to go-program
anymore, but its great that you want to make your code available for others.
Let me just make it clear that I'm all for that.  My skepticism was for some
kind of system that future go programs and modules should follow so that
they can be interchanged.  That's what I was saying would never happen.  I
look forward to checking out your tactical reader when you make it
available.



The modules I plan to make available are two tactical reading modules, an
influence module and a pattern-matcher. These are essential parts of a Go
program. Every single program worth something has these in one way or
another. And they have been made over and over again, which takes many
months of work each time. I have expressly designed them to be as
independent as possible from specific data defintions as possible. I don't
think that most of those who already started a Go program will suddenly
start using these modules in favour of the ones they made themselves. But I
have some small hope that some day there will be a few people with a few new
ideas who can use these basic building blocks to enable them to more quickly
get to test those ideas. And hopfully some more people will be contributing
a few more of those building blocks.
