[computer-go] language choices

[Łukasz Lew]

Agner Fog, in his well known optimization guide, claims that Digital
Mars compilers are rather weak optimizers. But the features of D
language are indeed admirable.
I would be grateful to see direct performance comparison on MC  Go program
(or on anything else)

BTW
Does anybody know what is the performance of the native compiled C# ?

Best Regards,
Lukasz
