C/C++ to die anytime soon

@Visitor: You can surely convert it by doing it step by step. You could even transform it to pure java (though in this case I would prefer William's bindenlicht port the most) ...
You simply need time, a clear structure and brainware. Difficulties depend on how good you are in either language, what features your compilers do support and so on ... If you take one day per class (and if you want very good documentation it'll take longer). So go on for counting classes ^^
In fact there is an old rule: 10 lines of code per hour if you include everything in business, 100 lines if you forget about docs and 1000 if you are very very lucky and skilled and ... use CopyNPaste.
But C# WILL do add a disadvantage: you won't be able to compile it on all platforms being support by irrlicht since c++ is more widely spread than C# ...
OT: Chrome won Duke's Choice Award
Chrome game received a prestigious Duke's Choice Award granted by the Java Leadership Team of Sun Microsystems.
Among the Java Leadership Team are also Scott McNealy and James Gosling, the creators of Java language.
The award is granted for the best and the most innovative product using the Java technology.
Chrome has been chosen from many products and projects from the entire globe, acknowledging the high quality of the Techland's product. Duke's Choice
OT2: Specforce (Chrome 2) is on its way ...

I learned Java in a course for university (i'm not in computer sciences though... accounting rules!)
I can say that I like it. The syntax of both C++ and Java are similar (even if there is differences). Also OO programming is more easy in Java.
But I don't like the fact that EVERYTHING is in a class in Java, even the things that are illogic to be in a class (like the main() function...)
So when people start to learn java, if they didn't used another language like c++ (that's the case for most people in my course), they come to think that a class is the same thing as a program.
Then, when we started to really use classes and objects, nobody understood (except me
)
Anyway, java is good, but I prefer C++
I don't know nothing about C#, but it looks weird...

What's bad about Java is that Sun advertises it as a 100% OO language. The glitch is that it includes Datatypes 
which got nothing to do with Objects...
C# permits to declare Objects with keywords named after the dataypes. It's why I prefer C# to Java.
Still, I prefer C++ to C#, my two cents anyway...
