For what it's worth, I recollect that the original GalCon was written
in Python as part of one of the PyWeek competitions. ;-)

Cheers,

Wasn't that the "challenge" where they wouldn't even accept solutions
written in many other languages (including both OCaml and F#)?

Ocaml is one of the supported lang. See:

http://ai-contest.com/starter_packages.php

there are 12 teams using OCaml. See:
http://ai-contest.com/rankings.php
(click on the lang to see all teams using that lang)
