 - speed: trying to get the simulation to be as fast as possible on consumer grade hardware

 - concurrency: try to enable the maximum concurrency when simulating the world, to the point that multiple
   networked computers may collaborate and work together to simulate a world faster or help each other into

+However, it has also some issues:

+- there is no GUI toolkit or game engine or anything similar advanced enough to ensure smooth cross platform user interface development
+- I don't know the rust programming language very well (not a big problem though)
+- its lower level nature (compared to java) would make development slower
+- it's very hard to write a multithreaded program in rust due to the compiler being extremely limiting by refusing to compile programs with a chance to cause segfaults or race conditions

+Java would solve those issues, also maintaining most of rust's advantages. I'll eventually decide what to do.
