Re: [Vala] Vala for physics simulations?

[Durand <durand1 gmail com>]

Luca, I'm not using any physics engine. I have to start from scratch
because I need something very specific anyway. At the moment, I've
been using code written in fortran and have used another written in C
so I'm pretty sure Vala would be fine. I just wanted to see if someone
else has add any experience with this kind of stuff.

Cheers!
