[java] Project DarkStar
Advertisement
No.
The whole point of the project is to scale through transparent Java deployment.
Porting it to C++ would require reinvention of entire JVM (garbage collection, synchronization, serialization, ...), as well libraries used.
Darkstar is intended to be used (not exclusively) with Sun's server platforms and application servers.
DarkStar is server platform and is client-agnostic. Unfortunately, that means you'll likely need to write your own client, or plug one of existing engines.

Is Darkstar only for Java programmers?
No.
On the client side we are client technology agnostic. The team has put out a J2SE API and intends to release both a C/C++ and J2ME API as well. As the source is being opened up, we hope to see the client API ported to many other technologies by the community
On the server side, Darkstar applications must be delivered as Java Byte Code. This is necessary to enable the container way in which we automate so much of the execution for the developer. The Darkstar team only directly supports server application development in Java, but the community is free to use any compiler that generates the necessary Java byte code.
