I'm actually pretty open to different options.  Java and C# are both 
good languages.  Java I know (good); C# I'm familiar with but have 
never coded (good for me, since if we use C# I'll learn something new 
:-).  Also C# is maybe a defacto standard for DotGNU stuff, so 
there's something to be said for that too.

Of course, if we have GW APIs for different languages, it would make 
it pretty easy to write parts of the VRS in different languages, 
since they'll talk to each other via GW anyway.  Perhaps we'll want 
to write most of the system in C#, but the core of the RM in C or C++ 
for efficiency; and perhaps we'll want to write some high-level 
diagnostic system utilities in a scripting language like Perl.

Is that a correct view of the GW language API's, Chris?
