I think you misunderstood my point. I have also spent a fair amount of time in other teams' pits helping with code--but they were rarely neighboring teams! My point is simply that the fact that other teams in the OP's area are using C++ may not be super-relevant, as they may not be at the same competitions. By the same token, no matter which language a team chooses, there's likely to be SOMEONE around to help in a pinch.

That said--you really don't want to be too dependent when other teams are likely to have their own issues to deal with.
