Which AI Language Do You Prefer?
Which AI Language Do You Prefer? I realise I've missed out some of the many available options, but feel free to elaborate more here if you feel the need! | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts. Tuesday 02 July, 15:32 Reply
#voters? Hi Alex, nice to see these polls. Would it be possible to see the number of votes as well? William | William van der Sterren 19 posts. Thursday 04 July, 09:27 Reply
Right tool for the right job There should be one more option: "Right tool for the right job" :) For example I myself don't have any rigid language preferences. For NN work and such I'd probably prefer Matlab, except when much efficiency is needed. Then C++ is probably my first choice. The point is that for prototyping and designing it is probably better to use a higher level language. On the other hand, if one wants to actually use the design regularly, it usually pays of to implement it in for example C++. | JLKK 4 posts. Thursday 04 July, 09:43 Reply
Preference Yeah, that's a good point. Though the poll does say "Prefer", which implies you like to use one more than another. There should be one saying 'No Particular Preference'. Oh well, too late for this one! I'll keep it in mind another poll for "Which language do you use most?" ;) William: Thanks for the suggestion. I knew i forgot something! | Alex J.

ai languages The AI article contest winner discussed state machines in in general but did refer sometimes to the specific language constructs employed (eg switch). i would like to point your attention to UnrealScript, a language which incorporates the notion of state directly as a language level construct, facilitating AI code greatly. In other words, state is not simulated clumsily through huge switch statements and other hacks, but rather is a first class citizen in the language. im not sure whether there are any other examples of things like this but still interesting.. | Cheradenine 1 posts.
