I'd say it's written in Java. If you have a bug where would you
correct it? If someone would like to see

Functional programming languages are now much more widely used in industry,
primarily because they offer substantial productivity improvements (roughly
10x) over C++ and Java and, consequently, are much more cost effective.
Do you have any references for this?
