Strongest engines per programming language?

[IanO]

Computer chess is mostly a C/C++ monoculture these days. What are the strongest engines in other programming languages?

It appears that Booot written in Delphi is currently the strongest non-C engine (CCRL 2935). CuckooChess (CCRL 2677) appears to be the strongest Java engine. Anyone know the strongest engine written in a functional programming language like Haskell or OCaml?

Critter was originally written in Pascal/Delphi and probably the strongest of this kind....

Possibly. The oldest version still using Delphi was 0.42. 0.40 only obtained 2675 on the CCRL list. The 64-bit C++ port 0.52 jumped to 2900! Richard's Delphi OpenCritter, roughly equivalent to Critter 1.0, hasn't made it into any lists or tournaments as far as I can tell.

Delphi/Pascal does seem to be the next most popular language for strong engine development, whose ranks include Delfi, Philou, Critter, Ufim, and Delphil. The strongest C# engine I've found is Pupsi2, with 2611 CCRL.

not sure which is the fastest C engine, but i know an candidate for the slowest:

10 NPS
Move Generator is ready, Alphabeta PV Search is ready, QSearch is ready, Evaluation is ready, result is 10 NPS

Search depth 3 needs with starting position about 3 Minutes.
