[FRIAM] ABM - OO

[Alfredo Covaleda V]

Hello

Months ago you had a discussion respect ABMs-OOP and you referred to 
some suitable languages.  I wonder how appropriate are python and PHP5 
to make simulations. ¿Are comparable C++, smalltalk, ruby, python and PHP5 ?

Although I've never seen a simulator written in php5 it seems to me that 
it's an interesting and  promising tool for simulations. ¿Are php5 OOP 
capabilities good enough for ABMs?,  ¿ Am I in risk of being  example of 
an everlasting amateur programmer death while trying ABMs with PHP5?

Regards

Alfredo
