Sonar and radar applications are very familiar to me. There is no reason why those couldn't be very efficient, yet written in C++. My opensource HASAS passive sonar signal analysis suite, and the libDSP signal processing library it uses, has been written using C++ and asm. I think it's still very efficient. And for example in these kinds of applications the most valuable feature is how well it performs it's tasks and reliability. Execution speed is secondary. You can buy more CPU power if required. Most large array beamformers are heavy SMP systems anyway. In C/C++ case the performance is more about how you write the code, not the language you use. -- Jussi Laako <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
