at this here university if it's graphics it's C++.  others use Java, a
group or two does compiler work with Python and that's it.

i reimplemented a graphics language system in Haskell last year (the
original was written in C++) and it was much smaller, didn't crash,
and the speed was reasonable because it used the accelerated OpenGL
libraries already available.

it didn't impress anyone enough to say 'ok, let's switch'.

the gaming industry is all C++, and that's where the undergrads want
to go, so they demand to be taught in it.
