Would anyone be able to give a short description of all of these?
(Especially threaded and bytecode) I have been trying to find out about
threads - i got the pthreads lib for linux, the docs for that are
impossible to understand without *some* kind of prior knowledge of what
threads are - I have heard that the linux port of it isnt very
good/stable/efficient and martin keegan has gone so far as to advise not
to use them under any kind of unix..
Also, last week I declared all my code as junk. I'm now considering
writing my mud in some kind of interpreted language, but efficiency and
speed is a concern (is there anything else i should also be concerned
with?). Im not 'definite' about going interpreted tho, although it seems
highly likely that im about to embark on my sixth complete rewrite :-/
Has anyone ever done an analysis comparing the above 6 methods? It would
be interesting to look at.
