Hi, I've been quiet on this group for a long time although I've kept my subscription so I remember to play with NEAT once I have free time (presumably retirement).  I've been tossing around the idea in my head for some time of doing an implementation of NEAT in F#.  For the uninitiated, F# is MS's functional .NET solution to the manycore system.  It is completely interoperable with C#/VB and can use the .NET framework.  I'm still getting completely ramped up on it but it seems like it might be very well suited to NEAT.  I was wondering what people think about this.  Waste of time?  Maybe NEAT would be better suited to hadoop or something like that.  Maybe something like this has already been done.  Anyway, I welcome thoughts.  Thanks,

Jeff

...imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.
