Actually not entirely true for Darkstar.

On the server you need to use Java byte code because its a container
system.  there is no other reasonable way to do what it does.  You
could however write in any language that generate Java byte codes.
But we only support Java because of the fundamental complexity
involved with supporting umpteen compilers from umpteen different
(mostly research) projects.


On the client we are client technolgoy agnsotinc.  The team puts out
APIs for C++, Java SE and J2ME but its a thin API and (once the GPL is
released) you will free to port it where ever you want.

Keep in mind that, while personally I think its a mistkae to try to
write core logic in a scripting language, many scripting languages
support C++ bindings.
