Anyone taking side bets as to which language the winners will be using?

If I were at all competent in C, I'd sure take a shot at it, but the only
language on that list I'd be able to speed-code in at this point is Perl, and I
rather doubt that I could take on a C programmer in something like that.

In any event, my side bet is that the winner will be using either C or C++. :)
