I'm pretty sure the server is in C as well. I will let those
developers (David Bruce and Akash Gangil) speak up, but I don't know
whether that would be immediately helpful to the network game, as
there are plenty of other things to fix first. It will be nice to
eventually have a threaded server, of course.

What about it? You tell us! Please realize that moving to Java
basically means rewriting everything from the ground up. Thus, it
would probably slow down development by an order of magnitude. Plus,
there's nothing quite as portable as C--not even Java :)

Thanks for your interest!

Hope this helps,
