Emerson, I use Delphi which is a Pascal like language. It's compiled and runs quite quickly, although maybe not as quickly as 'c' - the speed is a hotly debated point. It is a 'strong typed' language and so the compiler picks up quite a few potential errors. I would also say that Delphi probably does not have the same steep learning curve as 'c' so you'll probably make progress a bit quicker. The language also has an int64 type which is good for bitboards and hash tables. I would say that if you're a biginner and wanting to learn as a hobby then Delphi is a good way to go - certainly far better than Visual Basic IMHO. Regards, Steve
