Yeah, well for me it is more about concepts rather than serious
implementation. I've been hacking perl for half-a-dozen years and be
damned learning PROLOG just for the odd occasion i want to dabble in AI
stuff. Of course, if one day i join the ranks of the 1337 AI programmers
and find myself building the most k-rad killer AI app then i prolly
will look at languages other than perl.
Point taken though about a _long-term_ evolving/learning system - you'd
wanna make your decisions very carefully (and therefore should start
out with a very open mind regards implementation language. Do tests -
go with what works in your particular situation)
I now return you to your regular perl-ai channel of... hrm.. silence! :\
