RE: [computer-go] Pattern Matcher

[Vincent Diepeveen <diep@xxxxxxxxx>]

Wait a minute, you guys want to use the 3 times slower JAVA platform for
game programming?

You are not serious are you?

JAVA is great for connectivity and a quick programming of internet tools
and for server tools and interfaces.

But for the pure speed, i must refer this inferior compiler technology to
the outdated desk.

A complex program will be a factor 3 slower with it at least.

In fact small 30 line programs already are to my amazement not seldom up to
a factor 3 slower.
