I'd point out that C++ might be overrepresented in the GCJ solutions. Many of the successful GCJ competitors come from TopCoder, where the only available languages are Java, C# 2.0, and C++, so C++ is the favorite there by a wide margin. If languages like Python, Perl, etc. were available in TopCoder, I bet you would see more people using them both there and here.

I did read of one participant, however, who used Python and his solution would not finish in the 8 minute time limit for the large data set, but it worked for the small. So that would certainly be a consideration. And the ones i did see in C++ were light use of C++ features, with STL.
