and the best news is that it being UNIX and C++ doesn't matter as much

Good is good right?

Of course to the author (after managing to get to the bottom of the post)
it does matter because he's dealing with AI and of course in order to do

people, myself included, get locked into the mindset that in order to A
you must use B method.)
