Hello
Months ago you had a discussion respect ABMs-OOP and you referred to
some suitable languages. I wonder how appropriate are python and PHP5
to make simulations. ¿Are comparable C++, smalltalk, ruby, python and PHP5 ?
Although I've never seen a simulator written in php5 it seems to me that
it's an interesting and promising tool for simulations. ¿Are php5 OOP
capabilities good enough for ABMs?, ¿ Am I in risk of being example of
an everlasting amateur programmer death while trying ABMs with PHP5?
Regards
Alfredo

With the resurgence of virtualized instruction sets, e.g. Java and .NET,
and good hardware/software support via VMware, Parallels, KVM, and Xen,
perhaps we can hope to see more high performance implementations of OOP
as it was meant to be.. The Right Thing running fast bare on the
hardware (almost). Just bought 16 GB of RAM for less than $2k.
On a related topic, check out VMware Workstation 6 which now has trace
and replay. No more guessing how to reproduce conditions that led to a
model (or whatever) getting in to a weird state. Just back up!
