Please write it in something common. If you target linux I think it is unusual to target .net. Why not just c++? Proven technology, simple to write in. On Thu, Apr 02, 2015 at 09:02:09PM -0400, Joshua Shriver wrote: BTW I greatly appreciate all the input! and put in TODO.txt Since I do plan

The desire for a compiled language with a web and Linux affinity and a spec short enough to actually understand basically describes the motivation of Go(lang) (http://golang.org/), doesn't it? (As if this subject didn't have enough puns...) On Fri, Apr 3, 2015 at 2:21 AM, Igor Polyakov

It's easy to get 20+ ppl saying OMG I want to help. But I need at least 1-2 more core devs outside me, especially if I'm working in a language outside my zone. All I can say is, if you need 1-2 outside collaborators, you better have a plan B. Everyone dances to their own tune, and no one

BTW I am a Linux guy true and true since 1994. But I am DAMN tempted to write it in C#. I use mono on linux [1], and c# is an OK language for this kind of thing. RestSharp is an interesting library for web service *clients*, but of course you are writing a server. Lots of C++ programmers on

I disagree with that. Why does it suck? (Getting a bit OT for computer-go, so I replied off-list; if anyone was following the conversation, and wants to be CC-ed let me know.) Darren ___ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org

And using a clearly defined http web server protocol, probably built around json, and then the clients will take care of themselves: all modern languages, except C/C++, come with a good web client library, and a good json library. Just hand out a helper C library, perhaps with a C++ wrapper API.

Agree as well. But would like to offer both options. Planning to use github and make it 100% open source. -Josh On Fri, Apr 3, 2015 at 10:05 AM, Christoph Birk b...@obs.carnegiescience.edu wrote: On Apr 3, 2015, at 5:40 AM, folkert folk...@vanheusden.com wrote: My goal is to move away from
