Chess engines in "other languages" (not C/C++)
Posted: 22 May 2009, 11:30
Is there any list of chess engines that also has the programming language associated with it? I saw this page but I did not find any way to sort them by programming language.
The main reason I want to know is because I am developing a WB engine in Java* and I realised soon enough that the performance overhead in Java for a game like chess is really high and therefore wanted to compare my engine to other engines in Java. So any idea where I can find such a list?
Whilst thinking on the lines of Java I also thought if there are chess engines written in other uncommon programming/scripting languages. Obviously using a scripting language like javascript will cause the search to be incredibly slow but it will be fun to see such engines anyway .
* One reason I used Java was because I want to someday play the engine on my phone using J2ME
