[computer-go] Re: language choices

Guys, keep your eyes on the prize.  If your only problem
is that you need to double your speed, all you have to do
is wait 1.5 years.

All this talk of optimizing speed by tweaking language xx to be
more like assembly language (or C) is almost completely a waste 
of time.

Likewise, algoritmic optimizations that are not order of magnitude
improvements (factors of 10 or 100) are not worth persuing.
