I think that the language the program is written in shouldn't be a concern, as long as there are freely available compilers for said language. I.E. Pascal has free pascal, basic has free basic, asm has all kinds of assemblers, c has gcc, watcom, and so on. This would expand the scope some as to what's acceptible, but honestly, as long as compilers are freely available, opensource, and easily attainable, I see no reason to reject something just because it's not in the quote preferred language unquote.
If it becomes necessary, restrictions can always be placed on which compilers may be used, since it may be difficult or impossible to recreate binaries with newer/older versions of some of the available compilers, and we want to make it as easy for folks as possible, but rejecting something because it's not in asm or c just doesn't make any sense to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
