Forgot to mention that as far I know it is straight Java also.   As a
side note to those who are knocking Java a few things need to be
dismistified:

    I don't know if I am the exception but I know a fair number of
people who have switched from c/c++ to Java (like me)... most of my
carrer (and still do) is writting high performence code (largely via
custom alogrithems instead of hand optimization) and have had zero
issue with Java in this issue (except for the slow startup time for
the jvm).  Matter one of my projects is a Java-->native compiler which
I eventually plan to base an OS around.
