Everything I've done can be implemented in C, though it has been a good decade since I wrote any.
If you have written lots of C in the past (before modern tools etc), then you are probably steeped in it to the point that it will all come back very quickly and you will know how to double check a ton of stuff as you write it otherwise you spent the rest of night looking at a core dump.
I found the process of translating my javascript code back into changes to the C part fairly simple. One of the nice things about javascripts is that you can write as if it were C, ie the basic block structure. You will see the state machine I wrote was almost a cut and past job for Gordon to slot it into the C code.
My only worry would be if you write another test harness in Python - just because you need to prove the test harness produces good results that match the real world. Both of the test harnesses work reasonably well.

That is fair enough. My main reason for using Python is that I can most quickly prototype in Python and determine what is a route worth going down. The true measure of success will be the official test harness and, ultimately, real world tests.
Oh, forgot to say, thanks @Gordon - I can compile the harness now and it runs fine too.

I am just uaimg the data, not the actual harness at the moment. Don't be disappointed but I threw together a 5 line test harness in Python for quicker testing. Everything I've done can be implemented in C, though it has been a good decade since I wrote any.
