yes, but my reason for considering Java has nothing to do with how good a language it is, nor how well it suits the task at hand. The main argument is that in my day work I need to code java, and any practice I can get with it is useful - and may even be an excuse to do some of the stuff at work time. If I didn't have enough C-coding to do at work now, I would write C on my spare time, but as things are now, I get that need satisfied all right. -H -- Heikki Levanto "In Murphy We Turst" heikki (at) lsd (dot) dk _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
