That might make more sense, particularly if you would be interested in making
your door multi-platform, since C/C++ compilers are pretty much everywhere.
The Mono project allows .NET apps (i.e., ones written in C#) to run in Linux,
but Mono is something that isn't as ubiquitous as a C/C++ compiler.

With Java, you'd have the same issue as with C#: You'd need a door library for
Java, orsome kind of wrapper to wrap a C/C++-based door library so you could
call it from Java.
