Continuing on from a mistaken send . . .
I'm aware .Net has evolved a lot in recent years, but so has the C++
world, especially the Boost libraries which are extremely powerful.
Boost is not particularly powerful. Using Boost involves a *lot* of work
because the interfaces are not particularly good. Of course, the real
question is -- why are you arguing any of this when you could be also using
C++ and Boost from .Net? Not that I would since previous e-mails on the
OpenCog list haven't been hapy with Boost . . . .
So . . . I'm glad you believe that you're aware .Net has evolved. How has
it evolved?
Regarding Linux versus Windows, this seems to be more of an
individual-preference thing.
Why do you keep bringing up this old dead horse? I keep deliberately
removing it since it is as you say "an individual preference thing" --
except in terms of what is available under it and all sorts of market share
arguments (which I actually deliberately removed from MY last e-mail so as
not to cloud the issue with random facts like you're doing).
Obviously these are not simple issues since there are smart,
experienced, insightful people arguing both sides of the dichotomy.
There are people arguing both sides of the global warming issue as well.
Can't we argue this from REASONS instead of authority?
For OpenCog we had to make a definite choice and we made one. Sorry
you don't agree w/ it.
I agree that you had to make a choice and made the one that seemed right to
various reason. The above comment is rude and snarky however --
particularly since it seems to come *because* you can't justify your choice.
I would expect better of you.
= = = = = = =
Let's try this again. Get your experts together and create a short list of
why C++ on Linux (and any infrastructure there that isn't immediately
available under .Net) is better than the combination of all the .Net
languages and all the infrastructure available there that isn't immediately
available under Linux. No resorting to pseudo-democracies of experts, how
about real reasons that YOU will stand behind and be willing to defend.
I've seen a lot of speculation on the OpenCog list about using this or that
or the other thing and I've seen *a lot* of stuff dismissed and virtually
nothing embraced. I mainly mention this because I'm actually surprised at
how little seems to be reusable (i.e. less than I would have guessed).
So . . . . how about it? Real reasons or more random sidetracks and
insults?
