Re: [Swarm-Modelling] Announce: metaABM 1.0.0

[Miles T. Parker]

Quite well, I think. Basically, I have an expansion template that is  
pretty high-level, and I've got it targeting two very different Java  
APIs..or very different as far as two Java based ABM frameworks go,  
which is surprisingly, not that much. :) It works against a reasonably  
broad set of initial model designs, though there is a lot of room for  
improvement, natch. All of the C derivatives are "pretty close"  
structurally and syntactically -- which is why I think an Obj-C or C++  
would be a good next order target to shoot for, instead of, say LISP  
(but then why would you need a meta-model? :D) -- but of course there  
are always those nasty exceptions... Do you have a particular ABM  
engine in mind?
