Luca said: --- read_line() is not as cheap as a getline() str.split() is not as cheap as strtok() --- In other words : text processing in *pure Vala* is a lot slower than in C (or C++ for that matter) Consequently : Vala does not appear to be suited for heavy text processing tasks such as NLP : natural language processing. (unless there is an essential part of the concept of Vala that eludes me) Serge. _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
