I'm replying because it's the first mention of Bahrain I've come across on HN. I spent the first 30 years of my life there.
Interestingly though, I've worked on similar algorithms before, some of which are in production.

Thanks, I've been meaning to check out that Buddha bar I used in the picture. I have a sentimental attachment to it, being my first entry into such programming and all. I even thought about laying low in Bahrain, seems like a really cool place.
I’m hear about that country at work often, mostly people traveling back talking about all the crazy expensive cars they saw.
That would depend largely on where you're comparing it to I guess.
One reason is that fuel is extremely cheap - I thinks it's only cheaper in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. When fuel cost is almost not a factor then it basically becomes about which fancy car is affordable.
There's a huge wealth gap out there as well, and quite a tiny population. I would highly recommend checking it out some day. It's quite an interesting little island!
I’ve heard enough about the place that I’m not interested!
