I think this is a no-brainer... After 18 years with C/C++, I'd say use Java (or some other interpreted language) so you can focus on interesting stuff, and later perhaps you can come back to optimize some portion using a static compiled language (ie C++)...
Cavest: 2x slower than C++ might be a significant disadvantage for loop-based algorithms... Ie If your algorithms are about iterative search, then speed might make the difference in a competition... But heck, are there any algorithms that aren't of the iterative type?
