Not unlike this n.g., I think they believe that *all* contests
favor functional programming languages :-) In the last few years
we've had a ray-tracing problem, a robots wars problem, an auto
race simulation, and now battling ant colonies. I don't see any
a priori reason that these favor FP.

I know I'm happy when C++ does well.
