 For it's point & clickability, for users. And that I don't know Java yet :)

 I did a good bit of OpenGL coding in C, and though I like C, and OpenGL,
the two mixed caused a lot of headaches, and I was getting far more
coredumps than I liked, on silly things.

 To be honest, I'd be happy if TCL, Python or LISP had OpenGL support, I'd
give those a go too!
