How about to C# (or VB.NET)? Caml is a functional programming language. http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/general-eng.html Python is a scripting language. C# and VB.NET are .NET languages designed to create front ends for Web apps. I think they are all very differently targeted. It does not make a lot of sense to compare them. Probably, all of them are bad choices to write a chess engine unless you happen to be an expert in that language and a neophyte in one of the common chess programming langauges like C, C++ or Delphi. >Thanks for any responses!
