Various questions

I know that those questions could sound provocative and but here we 
are:

1) why C++? 
why not lisp / scheme / OCaml or anything else (I remember 
that simh was mentionned). 
I readily admit my brains melt reading the current code. I don't understand a 
lot of it. 

2) most of the game consoles emulators developers like to put some sort of 
"dynarec engine" (dynamic recompilation)? 
I read some pages of this link 
http://acorn.cybervillage.co.uk/emulation/dynrcomp.htm 

Looks good, fancy and complicated.
Has anybody wondered about that too? Pushing the enveloppe I could imagine 
Open Genera for Alpha running on a reverse fx32 (alpha library to run i386 
code) running on a Transmeta.
