I can understand reasons, however..
I will ask, why not to go for some O'Caml or even F# (mono
implementation on Linux is fine).  I would like to see VASSAL being
written in some cleaner language than C++ (and yet as efficient).
Anyway, I quite liked C++ in past better than Java and I hope it's not a
mistake.. If C++ project has some rigoruous coding standards and coding
practices specified upfront (how to do things, what not to do, which
subset of features we use etc.)  it makes C++ a bit nicer. (LLVM is the
example on top of my head).

Mine two cents,
Wojciech
