[Stackless] Speed comparision between stackless andotherintepreted languages

[Dan Partelly]

Hi Hilmar,

Thanks a lot for your answer and pointer to at least one game using it. I 
started to download your client, maybe Ill even take a look for a month at 
the game itself.

>> natural syntax that Python offers

Indeed. I like Phython sintax more than LUA'. However I am more familiar 
with LUA than Phython and stakcless especially, which I downloaded for the 
first time today, and know
that LUA was activly used in a large number of games. About Phython, I only 
knew about
Vampire the masquarade: Bloodlines and now Eve Online. But this convinved me 
to take a
deeper look at it.

Since you already using Stackless, please allow me another question. Did you 
encountered dificulties at integration (nor that I would expect those .. )? 
And especially, did you encontered diffculties with script thread state 
serialization ? You made your own, or you used built-in mechanims ?

Many thanks, Dan

Hi Dan,

In our experience, speed has not been an issue. Actually we were pleasantly 
surprised how fast it is. We implemented our game, EVE Online:
http://www.eve-online.com/

In Stackless Python, we use it extensively, both on the server and the 
client (EVE is an MMO with up to 13.000 concurrent players in the same 
world).

On the client we have a close integration with our 3D engine, which has 
allowed none programmers to script impressive special effects. The 
procedural synchronous model that stackless offers, with the natural syntax 
that Python offers, has in our experience allowed programmers and none 
programmers to write code like it should be (before the onslaught of 
asynchronicity and callback driven architectures took all the fun out of it 
:)).

Hello all,

Im evaluating stackless as a scripting environment for a 3d engine. I
find many of its features a real boon. But there is a question : speed
of the interpreter. Anyone on this list
has URLs to a speed comparision between stackless and other
inteprpetors, especially LUA ?

Thank you, Dan
