Questions regarding making a chess engine. • page 4/4 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

@RamblinDave Rust has some overhead and is less popular i.e you will not find so much already done code. but with CPU power available I guess you can make 2900+ engine in Java. Fully dynamic languages probably quite bit harder

@Abigail-III Thanks.
@petri999 I am not concerned with difficulty and it would be of great value for me if you told me which could be the best language to program a chess engine.

There is never clear answer on what language is best. But chess engines tend need computing power. C/C++/Rust would good ones. C is clear number one in efficiency. If do neural nets c++ seems to have better libraries so in that case c++

practically all good engines are written in c or c++ so if pick something else you shoudl have an idea why you pick something else
