Go up one level in this thread


Hmm..

I wrote a program in lisp.. It played ok.. In the end i decided to use the lisp
program as a big prototype and implement the same idea in C--the reasons being
mainly pragmatic--ease of interface with winboard, portability, ability to
distribute an executable, quality of compilers, etc.

It sounds like you're coming at this from a theoretical angle--lazy evaluation,
and the like.  That's fine as long as you aren't hoping for a 2500 program that
you can have someone play in their fritz interface.
