[computer-go] Grid Cosmos

[Chris Fant]

I would say the two best things about C# are the IDE and the garbage
collection.  Perhaps Java has as-good or better in both regards.  I
don't know.  I have never been a Java guy.  I became familiar with the
.NET platform due to my job.

I think it is fair to say that I ported my C++ code.  Some stuff was
ported, some stuff was easier to rewrite completely.  C# looks to be
about 2x to 2.5x slower than C++ for my purposes and for my
optimization ability.
