If you care to detail what kind of problem or structure you find hard to deal with in C++ or other major languages, I would be interested either on or off list. I have created some primitives that return the difference or similarity of both meta data and value data in objects. By combining a few methods, I can easily categorize an object into a class of objects and using weights predict what the object is based on less the total information. I have extensive built-in parsing of character strings based on a character, list of keywords etc. A single version of my encode method can produce the HTML given some wiki text. XML can be decoded directly in a tree object as well as any branch of the Class or Object hierarchies. > > Regarding languages, I personally am a big fan of both Ruby and > Haskell. But, for Novamente we use C++ for reasons of scalability. With your huge investment in C++ code, I would be leery of any suggestion of language change as well. It is hard to evaluate the robustness and scalability of a language from only documentation where the actual code isn't available yet. I think once you actually get a copy, you might just change your mind about the scalability and speed of this system but I know all that probably won't be enough for you to switch. Just you having a small interest in the outcome of this project as it goes forward would be great for me. -- David Clark ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
