Language issues come up on a regular basis. (not only in CCC) I don't know
the language you mention, but I wish people would more look at the problem
they have to solve and *then* decide what programming language is the most
appropriate. Most people only decide between C, C++ and VB, *if* they
decide. I remember a problem where my class-friend (blind as he is :)
chose C++ and used 90% of the time to implement his own memory management
cuz of the 64k limit, whereas another friend solved the whole problem in
5 mins with Mathematica. [The guy with C++ worked on it for almost a week.]

I'm not saying that C++/C is not a good language for chess - it just depends
on your goals.

I'm impressed! :-)) Sorry couldn't resist. :)
